Carrie Schneider has produced both a photographic and video series in which she sits with women who are reading. This video was composed for the exhibition Angela Davis—Seize the Time. It presents women reading works by Angela Davis and Ruth Wilson Gilmore, in which the authors address the U.S. prison system and the disproportionate percentage of the African American population who are incarcerated.
