Fred Moten and Stefano Harney invite us to imagine abolition as a project of building anew. In this exhibition, Objects of Abolition, models and drawings will answer their question: What is an object of abolition? Together, these object types will position abolition as a spatial problem, deeply entangled with our industries and requiring buy-in and imagination to materialize. This exhibition will situate Architecture, Construction, and Engineering industries in the Prison Industrial Complex, imagine an abolitionist alternative to Cop City, and model the social and climatic conditions of formerly and currently incarcerated individuals in Colorado prisons. Objects of Abolition is one of the first exhibitions in the country to explore abolition and its connection to design professionals to imagine just and liberatory futures.

This work was produced as a collaboration between the Community Engagement, Design and Research Center in Environmental Design, Climate and Incarceration Research Collaborative at CU Boulder, and Design As Protest Collective.
