Core offering

Its offerings include the #NoKidsinPrison immersive web experience, the Freedom Constellations public art initiative (mural, AR banners, bus wrap, Smithsonian-featured film), traveling exhibitions, the Justice Parade, the Cultural Organizing Institute workshops, and free educator curriculum resources.

Product overview

Performing Statistics is a national cultural organizing project that uses art, advocacy, and storytelling to model, imagine, and campaign for a world without youth incarceration.

Its core offerings include the #NoKidsinPrison Digital Experience (an immersive web experience), Freedom Constellations (a multimedia public art initiative featuring murals, AR installations, film, and bus wraps), the Cultural Organizing Institute (training workshops), Justice Parade (annual community event), Exhibitions (traveling and in-person shows), Artwork Archive, Educator Resources, Abolitionist FAQ Video Series, Transmissions from the Future poster series, and the School to Prison Pipeline Curriculum. These programs work together to amplify youth voices, shift culture, and drive policy change toward ending youth incarceration.
