I looked out through a window at Bedford Women’s Correctional Facility in New York, while visiting Columbia Collective artist Juste-A. Outside the window, I saw a playground surrounded by barbed wire: a playspace meant for the visiting children of mothers behind bars. While Juste-A herself is not a mother, two other of the young Columbia Collective artists are new moms. Responding to a world challenged by precarity and injustice, this work imagines growth out of contemporary ruins, collaboratively with artists across geographies of freedom.
