Our exhibition celebrates the indomitable spirit of artists who transform adversity into a source of strength and innovation. Featuring a dynamic array of creators who have faced marginalization, diverse physical abilities, neurodiversity and experiences from across the spectrum of sexual orientation and gender identity. Abolition Hall and the Corson Homestead will reflect society’s multifaceted nature.

The compelling artistry beckons viewers to delve into narratives that subtly unravel societal complexities. Our hope is to spark deep reflection, foster empathy and encourage meaningful conversations. Join us to discover the myriad of ways in which art shapes and is shaped by, the rich tapestry of human experience, underscoring the importance of transforming the educational and judicial systems.

Muti will be celebrating the one year anniversary of his release which was made possible through the efforts of the Making An Exoneree program. Their efforts helped Muti build a parole application, which was ultimately granted. Muti was released in June 2023.

Muti spent 42 years in prison despite two of his co-defendants recanting their testimony. These men claim that the Philadelphia Homicide Unit threatened and coerced them into lying to convict Muti while they were juveniles.

Anna Salvatore, Mikayla Merin, and Clara McWeeney from Princeton University, along with Tashay Campbell from Georgetown Law, reinvestigated the case through the Making An Exoneree program and helped Muti build a parole application, which was ultimately granted. Learn more about his case ahead of Muti's pending release.
