Подробнее о видео

Since 2011, artist and former Pioneer Works resident Onyedika Chuke has been focused on The Forever Museum Archive, an ongoing project that brings together a disquieting collection of sculptures, text and images that serve as reference points through which to trace the systems of power that shape contemporary society.

For its latest iteration, The Forever Museum Archive_Circa 6000BCE, co-presented by Pioneer Works and Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Chuke turned his focus to the criminal justice system in the United States—circling the present penal code back to antiquity, through the Renaissance and onto the colonial birth of American incarceration.
