"Poverty on Trial" Exhibition at Cité des Arts
to
Cité des Arts 109 Vine Street, Lafayette, Louisiana 70501
Through her multimedia art form, Revina Amos presents the true story of a homeless, mentally ill man who was falsely convicted of manslaughter in Calcasieu Parish. Hoping her work will inspire artists of other media—especially theater—Amos aims to raise awareness of the mental health challenges within our criminal justice system. All proceeds from the exhibition will go towards the wrongly-convicted man's legal defense. On display at Cité des Arts gallery through July and August. citedesarts.org.
