Billboard USA

A temporary public artwork that forms a part of the larger project, "8x5: ARTISTS AGAINST MASS INCARCERATION, CALLING FOR JUSTICE." Art at a Time Like This launched 8x5: Artists and Justice, coinciding with Miami Art Week, 2022.  With a sizable grant from Art for Justice Fund, they were able to post stationary billboards and mobile digital billboard trucks throughout the city, allowing artists to express their opinions on the mass incarceration crisis.

The exhibition, named 8X5 to symbolize the dimensions of an average prison cell, showcases thought-provoking commissioned artworks by esteemed artists including Glenn Kaino, Dread Scott, the Guerrilla Girls, Reginald O'Neal, Russell Craig, Sherrill Roland and Kellen Stuhlmiller, Chire Regans, Judith Mistor, Jessica Helsinger, Rosa Naday Garmendia, and Emily Velez Nelms.

This artwork was located both on a stationary billboard at the corner of S.W. 12 Ave. & Flagler Street and on a mobile digital billboard truck as they traverse South Beach, the Design District, and Wynwood in Miami, Florida.
