Co-created by artist Raphaela Rosella alongside several women in her life, You’ll Know It When You Feel It is a socially engaged art project that seeks to counter bureaucratic representations of women whose lives intersect with the prison industrial complex. From six-minute phone calls to handwritten letters to photographs, this multi-media, multi-authored exhibition examines the value of a co-created archive as a site of resistance.
Participants: Raphaela Rosella with Dayannah Baker Barlow, Kathleen Duncan, Gillianne Laurie, Tammara Macrokanis, Amelia Rosella, Nunjul Townsend, Laurinda Whitton, Tricia Whitton, and family.
