This week Gary Mansfield speaks to Halim Flowers (@halimflowers)
Halim Flowers is an artist, writer and activist from Washington DC, that used his creativity to bring light into his dark situation.
On March 21, 2019, after serving 22 years and 2 months behind bars, Halim was released back into society. Since his release, he has worked with Kim Kardashian for her documentary “The Justice Project”, performed spoken word with Kanye West at his famous ‘Sunday Service’, received the Halcyon Arts Lab and Echoing Green fellowships.
Halim has spoken at several universities and conferences around the country about the impact of the arts and entrepreneurship to correct our criminal injustice system.
Halim’s exhibition and series of talks in the UK, organised by The Bomb Factory in North London, was postponed at the last minute due to increased Covid restrictions, but will be re-scheduled for early 2021.
