Re-imagining Dante’s Inferno: Prison, Social Justice, and the Arts

Monday, May 5, 2025 at 6:00pm
Ring Family Performing Arts Hall

Free and open to the public

Wesleyan students, faculty, and staff can RSVP on WesNest, but reservations are not required.

Wesleyan students will collaborate with formerly incarcerated men and women in a presentation of theater, rap, gospel music, and spoken word poetry to explore the parallels between the medieval injustices Dante wrote about and the 21st century injustices we still live with today. The performance will feature rap poet BL Shirelle and gospel singer Debra Taylor. 

Presented with support from the Theater Department and the Allbritton Center for the Study of Public Life.
