“Artists + Archivists for Liberation compiles articles selected by Sixty’s editorial team. This issue features The Blackivists—a Chicago-based collective of trained Black archivists who prioritize Black cultural heritage preservation and memory work. Articles by Jordan Sarti feature the work of the Prison + Neighborhood Arts/Education Project with Damon Locks and Sarah Ross as well as the 2018 national prison strike and the ‘Day of Solidarity’ hosted in support by Co-Prosperity Sphere. This issue also features Michael Fischer’s interview with Eric Blackmon as part of his interview series ‘Smiling Behind the Sun’—through conversations with formerly-incarcerated artists and their allies, this series celebrates the ways in which an artistic, creative life can transmute the impact and redefine the legacy of an experience within the Prison Industrial Complex. Photographs featured in this issue are by Sebastian Hidalgo." -- Publisher's website, accessed June 11, 2024
