Plesch Essay in Maine Arts Journal Reflects Statewide Initiative

Professor of Art Véronique Plesch contributed an essay to the Fall 2021 Maine Arts Journal. The essay, Graffiti: Captivity and Freedom, is part of the journal’s partnership with the statewide initiative Freedom & Captivity, spearheaded by Catherine Bestman, the Francis F. Bartlett and Ruth Bartlett Professor of Anthropology. Plesch’s essay stems from her research on graffiti, and specifically “on graffiti executed in places of passage and of confinement, in other words, in places of freedom and of captivity,” she writes.
