Netta Wang
San Mateo County
Project: Prison Renaissance Magazine
Netta Wang is a current student at Stanford University, majoring in Sociology and Computer Science. Born and raised in the Bay, Netta has always been passionate about the little ways we can make our environment and society better.
When Netta was connected to Emile DeWeaver, a then incarcerated activist, and listened to him talk about his work in combating loneliness and lack of meaning in prison (and knowing that free people struggle with the same issues), she wanted to create a program that could put free and incarcerated voices together to grow and learn from each other.
Netta believes art can be used to connect incarcerated people with the free world, highlighting the inherent value of incarcerated people and the sense that our communities are lacking when they are absent from them. The Prison Renaissance Zine is a project with the goals of creating radical collaboration and solidarity between two unlikely groups in artistic dialogue: incarcerated artists and Stanford student artists.
