DON’T BE A PAINO
Artist’s Name: JOSEPH R. DOLE
Artist’s Comments About the Piece: It is currently a fad to say that you are a prison abolitionist. However, most people who say that aren’t actually doing even the simplest of things to contribute to that goal. Instead they just theorize what could or should be done to abolish prisons, but won’t lift a finger to help reduce the number of people currently dying in prison.
Artist’s Description of Himself: I am an activist artist in the sense that I almost solely produce art as an act of resistance or in support of some cause.
Mediums Used in This Piece: Sharpie markers.
