Homeroom: The Fortune Society marks the second exhibition at MoMA PS1 by the Long Island City-based non-profit organization that promotes alternatives to and supports successful reentry from incarceration. Featuring new works created while in residence at MoMA PS1, the exhibition includes self-portraits, garments, poetry, pennants, sculptures, audio recordings, a billboard, and a music video. The presentation in Homeroom is the culmination of a four-year collaboration between the two organizations, alongside artists Jenny Polak and Laura Cerón Melo, as part of the Creatives Rebuild New York initiative. Reckoning with the aftermaths of incarceration, the exhibition imagines a more just future enacted through creativity.
