An Envisioning Justice Activation Event
Hosted by the Galesburg Community Arts Center and Alexandra Antoine
This event welcomes people of all ages, families, and young people.
How do our personal values, perspectives, and societal norms both uphold and challenge mass incarceration? Please join us for a talk and guided exhibition tour with artist Alexandra Antoine, hosted by the Galesburg Community Arts Center. Created in partnership with Antoine’s longtime collaborator, writer Brandon V. Wyatt, the exhibition titled Our Agreements is an exploration of the role of police, prisons, and incarceration in our communities.
Wyatt, who is currently incarcerated at Stateville Correctional Center, and Antoine’s work together is rooted in the ideas within Gary Zukav’s bestselling book, The Seat of the Soul. Visitors will be guided along the gallery space through focused areas that directly reflect the chapters of Zukav’s book.
Free food and drinks will be provided during the event. The exhibition will be on display through October 21, 2023.
This event is presented in partnership with the Galesburg Community Arts Center and Alexandra Antoine, and is part of the 2023 Envisioning Justice Activation Series.

He is currently 38 years of age, and continues to defy the assumptions that come with age, race, and gender. Despite being incarcerated for a significant amount of time, he has made notable achievements in the realms of academics, social understanding, and personal development, which stems from his ability to be firm in knowing that his identity is established in a substance of unconditionality and infinite possibility. He has been a contributor for “Envisioning Justice” in other programs and ventures, and has walked away each and every time with a heightened sense of accomplishment and an appreciation for being able to lend a voice to such weighty and urgent issues as mass incarceration and social inequities.
