An exhibit featuring artist Taryn Simon's 45 photographic portraits of individuals freed by DNA evidence is on display at **Provisions Library** in Washington, DC, from February 11 to April 15, 2006. During the D.C. exhibit, which is part of a traveling exhibition curated by Umbrage Editions to mark the 10th anniversary of the New York City-based Innocence Project, a series of related events will also be offered to more closely examine the issue of wrongful convictions. Among the special presentations that will accompany the exhibit are a screening of the film "After Innocence," performance excerpts from the play The Exonerated, a teach-in on science and criminal justice, a book reading by death row exoneree Kirk Bloodsworth, and an art workshop given by Ms. Simon.
