SiPC4 is a biennial gathering of prison arts practitioners, returned citizens, researchers, and scholars exploring the impact of arts programming--and committing to antiracist practice--in carceral settings around the world. Together we frame our discussion around the provocation, "Why Shakespeare Now?"

NB: Past sessions (November 9th - present) are IN ORANGE and listed in order of weekly broadcast, but dated at the end of SiPC4 (April 9th, 2021) to keep them visible on the calendar. Session recordings, links, and resources are found by clicking on each event.
