VCUArts Bowe House Press: "Sanctuary, a limited edition of 50 books, is the result of over two years of work by more than 50 writers, artists, and activists. The idea for making a codex was born in a writing class in the Richmond City Jail. Our codex is a blend of politics, pop culture, and art. It navigates the border between inside and outside, as prisoners, some still incarcerated, some now free, created the writing and the drawings. We believe that art has the potential to transform culture. This is our attempt. It certainly has transformed us.
