We Are Here

2022

Brooklyn, NY

Who is we? Where is here? Who is at Rikers? Am I we? We are mothers, fathers, daughters and sons. We are artists, thinkers and dreamers. We are teachers, writers and scientists. We are human. We are us and we are here. And here is Rikers Island, a complex of 10 decaying buildings that hold 10,000 cages. And us. All of us are here. We are in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx. We are home. We have families. We are old and young. We are possibilities. We are love. We are all at Rikers Island until we #CLOSErikers.
