SUMMARY:Felon: An American Washi Tale with Reginald Dwanye Betts
DESCRIPTION:Performed by poet\, lawyer and MacArthur Fellow Reginald Dwayne Betts\, Felon: An America Washi Tale is a powerful solo performance exploring the unexpected significance of paper in the American prison system. The play is about reimagining paper\, from legal documents that initiate and end sentences to “kites” — letters from loved ones providing vital lifelines\, or book pages slid under the cell door of an incarcerated teenager— paper serves as both a burden and a beacon of hope. \nWeaving together traditional theater\, poetry\, fine art and Japanese papermaking aesthetics\, the piece is a meditation of Betts’ own experience with incarceration and his legal advocacy work to free others. This reflection on the challenges of living in the shadow of mass incarceration is a story of violence\, love and fatherhood. The world of Felon is shaped by set design by Japanese paper artist Kyoko Ibe\, crafted from “prison paper” that artist Ruth Lingen constructed from the clothes of men Betts first met in prison as a teenager\, visually extending the play’s reach beyond the artist’s own story to illuminate how incarceration touches us all.

SUMMARY:Thorns and Living Systems Catalog Launch in partnership with Pharm Table
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dr. Scott A. Sherer and Lizzy Hayman \nThis exhibition brings together works from the individual creative careers of Jayne Lawrence and Leigh Anne Lester and a variety of materials that reference their collaborative endeavors in cactusBRA and cactusBARN\, the influential galleries they founded in San Antonio. While pursuing unique themes and perspectives\, Lawrence and Lester bring critical attention to the possibilities of imagination to transform expectations that structure standard knowledge systems. Lester’s works often have a foundation in considerations of the natural world whereas Lawrence’s works often develop in consideration of challenges to narratives that influence subjectivity and social engagement. The exhibition features mixed-media two- and three-dimensional works and installation. \nLed by acclaimed chef\, Elizabeth Johnson\, Pharm Table is a mecca for healthful farm to table cuisine. The restaurant focuses on fresh farm produce and meats carefully sourced from regenerative farmers. Their niche is locally sourced ingredients\, and globally inspired flavors that promote an overall better quality of life. They believe in the medicinal power of food and botanicals. Their recipes are driven by our use of spices and herbs\, reflecting the season’s bounty.

SUMMARY:Inside/Outside: Considerations for Teaching Artists
DESCRIPTION:This workshop equips teaching artists to engage thoughtfully and responsibly in carceral settings by grounding their practice in critical ethical frameworks\, trauma-informed and healing-centered methodologies\, and deeply relational approaches to arts-making. Moving beyond technical instruction\, the workshop invites participants to examine power\, consent\, agency\, and accountability in environments shaped by surveillance\, coercion\, and structural violence. Through dialogue\, case studies\, and embodied exercises\, artists will reflect on their positionality and develop practices that prioritize dignity\, care\, and mutual transformation. Participants will also receive practical tools for navigating the institutional realities of carceral spaces\, including understanding security protocols\, establishing collaborative relationships with correctional staff and community partners\, designing adaptable curricula\, and planning for long-term sustainability. Attention will be given to maintaining ethical boundaries\, responding to trauma in ways that avoid re-harm\, and cultivating creative processes that honor participants’ lived experiences without instrumentalizing them. Centering radical imagination as a form of resistance and possibility\, the workshop positions arts engagement not as charity\, but as a site of solidarity\, critical inquiry\, and collective meaning-making. Teaching artists will leave with concrete strategies\, reflective frameworks\, and a renewed commitment to fostering artistic spaces that affirm humanity within and beyond carceral institutions. \n\n\n\n\nDr. André de Quadros is a professor of music at Boston University whose work is centrally engaged with incarceration\, prison education\, and the global carceral state. With affiliations spanning African\, African American & Black Diaspora\, American\, Asian\, Jewish\, and Muslim Studies\, as well as Forced Migration\, his scholarship and artistic practice examine the intersections of race\, mass incarceration\, state violence\, and human rights. As an artist\, scholar\, poet\, and activist\, he has led sustained music initiatives in prisons and detention centers across multiple countries\, working alongside incarcerated people\, individuals in psychosocial rehabilitation\, refugees\, and survivors of torture and sexual violence. His carceral work foregrounds music-making as a site of dignity\, resistance\, and collective transformation\, challenging punitive logics and advancing abolitionist imaginaries. He directs choirs and choral projects in Indonesia\, Sri Lanka\, the United States\, Israel and the Arab world\, and along the Mexico–US border\, often in contexts shaped by confinement and displacement. He is the author or editor of eight books and numerous scholarly publications and choral editions. In 2019\, he was a Distinguished Academic Visitor at the University of Cambridge\, and he has received many honors\, including an honorary doctorate from the University of Melbourne.

SUMMARY:Shelby Doyle Architecture Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Shelby Elizabeth Doyle\, AIA is a registered architect and Associate Professor of Architecture where she is the Stan G. Thurston Professor of Design Build at Iowa State University College of Design\, co-founder of the ISU Computation & Construction Lab (CCL)\, and director of the ISU Architectural Robotics Lab (ARL). The CCL and ARL the result of Doyle’s ISU Presidential Impact Hire to rethink digital fabrication and design-build. The CCL works to connect developments in computation to the challenges of construction: through teaching\, research\, and outreach. \nThe central hypothesis of CCL and Doyle’s work is that computation in architecture is a material\, pedagogical\, and social project; computation is both informed by and productive of architectural cultures. This hypothesis is explored\, through the fabrication of built projects and materialized in computational practices. The CCL is invested in questioning the role of education and pedagogy in replicating existing technological inequities\, and in pursuing the potential for technology in architecture as a space of\, and for\, gender equity. \nDoyle is currently a Mellon Research Fellow for the Canadian Centre for Architecture’s The Digital Now: Architecture and Intersectionality\, the 2023 President of ACADIA – the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture – and a 2022-25 At-Large-Director for the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). \nDoyle received a Fulbright Fellowship to Cambodia\, a Master of Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design\, and a Bachelor of Science in architecture from the University of Virginia. \nHer work at ISU has been recognized by several national awards: the Association for Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Creative Achievement Award\, the Autodesk / Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) Emerging Research Award\, and the Building Technology Educators Society (BTES) Emerging Faculty Award. She has published in the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE)\, the International Journal of Architectural Computing\, and Columbia University’s Avery Review\, as well as in proceedings for national and international meetings.
