Ashley Hunt is an artist, writer and educator whose documentary and community-engaged artworks of the past two and a half decades have focused primarily on the U.S. prison system — its growth, ecologies, effects on communities, continuation of the U.S.’ genocidal histories, and its abolition. A recent fellow of the Art for Justice Fund, his works have included short and feature length documentaries, video installations, maps, performances, photography, and an experimental dance school: alongside collaborations with community organizations including Critical Resistance, the Underground Scholars, California Coalition for Women Prisoners, Release Aging People in Prison, Southerners on New Ground, Project South, Citizens for Quality Education, the Youth Justice Coalition, Mass Liberation Arizona, and Friends and Family of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children.
