This installation is presented by the Henry Art Gallery in partnership with La Resistencia and University of Washington faculty organizers of Art at the Borders of the Political.
La Resistencia’s #FreeThemAll campaign shares visual and narrative portraits of people detained within the Tacoma ICE Processing Center. The Henry presents a selection of screen-printed portraits from #FreeThemAll in the museum’s front windows and along the adjacent exterior wall. The four portraits reproduced on paper represent individuals currently detained inside the Tacoma ICE Processing Center who are working with La Resistencia to highlight the urgency of their cases and the terrible conditions at the detention center.

‘Neither Free Nor Fair’ Podcast
Ongoing | Online
Associate Professor of Political Science James Long has started a podcast focused on election security, “Neither Free Nor Fair?”, featuring experts from the UW and elsewhere, and building on the audience of the UW Political Economy Forum’s podcast. In the most recent episode, Sara Curran, Professor of International Studies, joins Long for this episode “Census: Counting Folks & Counting Votes.” They discuss what a census is and its importance to elections and democracy; why the Framers wrote the census into the Constitution; how censuses work in the US and other countries (including Malaysia, Kenya, and Myanmar); why censuses often become so politicized; and the importance of counting people to respond to the Covid crisis.
