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.
