Feedback is a living archive of Gaspar’s ongoing (since 2012) community-based site-interventions at and around Cook County Jail. This self-published compendium marks a beat in the evolution of two large-scale projects that Maria has led since 2012: 96 Acres Project and Radioactive: Stories from Beyond the Wall, amongst others. The artist book is comprised of five screen-printed posters and a 7" vinyl record. The die-cut posters include short essays, critical pedagogy in the form of curriculum, and original artwork, and poetry. Contributors include nationally recognized writers, as well as locally celebrated cultural leaders, educators, artists, and Radioactive Ensemble members (formerly and currently incarcerated men at Cook County Jail).
