Talking with Children About Incarceration

Join Mariame to discuss the impact(s) of prison and jail on children and address ways to explain it to them. This event is relevant for families with currently incarcerated loved ones and individuals who work with children of the incarcerated (as educators, caregivers, or service providers). 

Registration is encouraged, but not required.

Mariame Kaba is a NYC-based educator, organizer, librarian/archivist, curator and long-time zine maker. She is the author of  the children’s books Missing Daddy & See You Soon, among several other titles that offer support and tools for repair, transformation, and moving toward a future without incarceration.

Running from April 4 through June 28, 2026, The Warehouse is a collaboration between artist and writer Vic Liu, abolitionist organizer Mariame Kaba, and the Bedford branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. The project features more than two dozen new, full-scale paintings by Liu that cover the library's walls, transforming the public space into an immersive exploration of resistance, survival, and possibility.
