Carceral Fictions and Abolitionist Realities
by Lauren Williams
Carceral Fictions and Abolitionist Realities is a series of audio essays about making room for abolition hosted by artist and designer Lauren Williams. “Making Room for Abolition” first appeared at Red Bull Arts in Detroit in October of 2021 as a month-long installation of speculative artifacts set in a home in a future without police and prisons. This series reflects on conversations from that space with Detroit-based organizers and futurists committed to food justice, water access, educational equity, restorative justice, and Black liberation more broadly. In each episode, we’ll look closely at the kinds of fictions that shape our current attachments to policing, prisons, and punishment to examine where they come from and how they affect us. At the same time, we'll propose abolitionist realities that counter these fictions and open up other ways of being.
