The Sing Sing Prison Museum, in collaboration with Life Stories, Musicambia, and the Ossining Public Library, recently announced UNSUNG—a multimedia storytelling and music series that brings together formerly incarcerated individuals, advocacy and carceral professionals, artists, and community members to explore the prison system through the lens of humanity, healing, and transformation.

Held in the Budarz Auditorium at the Ossining Public Library, the UNSUNG event series invites the public to experience dynamic evenings that blend film, music, and moderated conversations—like attending a concert, film screening, and book club all in one. Audiences are encouraged to attend all four of the programs, but these programs can also stand-alone if you can only attend one.

Each event is free and open to the public. Register below if attending in person.

If you can't attend in person, join the livestream on the Sing Sing Prison Museum Instagram beginning at 6:30 PM. Add future events to your calendar and simply visit the Sing Sing Prison Museum Instagram at 6:30 PM on the evening of each event.

The UNSUNG series is underwritten by Lilly Endowment.
