The Transcendent Power of Books

Within the confines of Alcatraz Island, Future IDs brings together renowned authors, literary artists, and inmates to create a stimulating environment that encourages self-exploration, personal development, and healing through the power of literature. By placing books at the forefront of this project, Marjorie Cowley endeavors to remind us of the transformative abilities that reading and storytelling possess.

Future IDs at Alcatraz showcases the unique narratives of inmates, offering a rare glimpse into their lives, struggles, and aspirations.

Unveiling Alcatraz's Literary Identity

As you navigate the corridors of Alcatraz's infamous cellblocks, you will witness the convergence of past and present through the medium of literature. Each cell serves as a chapter, housing the stories of incarcerated individuals whose voices are brought to life through the written word.

Through this project, Marjorie Cowley aims to ignite conversations about social justice, rehabilitation, and redemption. By highlighting the shared experiences, hopes, and dreams of those who have occupied these cells, Future IDs at Alcatraz seeks to bridge the gap between the incarcerated and free world, emphasizing our shared humanity.

Future IDs at Alcatraz is more than just an exhibition — it serves as a platform for engaging with the broader community. Guided tours, workshops, and discussions are facilitated to foster understanding and empathy among visitors, encouraging them to reflect on the social, economic, and political factors that have influenced the lives of incarcerated individuals.
