Low-key show with works by incarnated youth from McLaughlin Youth Center, Sept. 12
Students and employees are invited to join for a low-key show with works by incarnated youth from McLaughlin Youth Center on Sept. 12.
This show shares works created with youth at the McLaughlin Youth Center between 2021 and 2025. Over these years, curator and educator Simonetta Mignano led a series arts program with youth from all the detention units in the facility, exploring different forms of creative making - from hands-on craft, zine-making, literary creation and embodied practices, including collective dreamwork.
Alongside the finished pieces, there are process materials, notes, and other fragments from along the way - traces of the conversations, experiments, and moments that shaped the work and our time together.
The main programs were Zines & Dreams, Flying Home and We Are Who We Are, completed in partnership with artist Susan Joy Share and UAA writing professor Shane Castle and with partial funding by UAA's Center for Community Engaged Learning. These programs were supported by the Alaska State Council on the Arts, and partially in partnership with See Stories.
Event location - Fine Arts Building, antechamber gallery on the ground floor
Event date - Sept. 12, 2025
Event start time - 6 p.m.
Event end time - 8 p.m.
