5/14 Due Process Day - ACLU of Pennsylvania

Summary

In celebration of "5/14 Due Process Day," the ACLU of Pennsylvania is hosting the Due Something: Inspire Justice art showcase. Join us for an evening of multidisiplinary art - music, poetry, and visual art -created by young Pennsylvanians to explore the constitutional promise of due process. Hear from ACLU-PA experts on how we are fighting daily to ensure due process is upheld in voting rights, immigrants' rights, and throughout our criminal legal system.

We promise an evening of interactivity that is both informative and inspiring. At the end of the evening, we will announce the three winning submissions from our contest and celebrate all creators who dedicated their time to answer our call to use their art in service of change.

Special Guest: Symone Salib

Symone Salib is a first-generation Cuban / Egyptian muralist, illustrator, and trauma-informed educator whose art centers on the storytelling of community members through large-scale public installations. Strongly rooted in portraiture, her work envisions a world of radical possibilities where equality and justice are at the center. By focusing on the voices and faces of marginalized communities, Symone uses her art to uplift and amplify those who are often overlooked.

Her community-based practice reflects her belief that art should be accessible to all. By creating work in public spaces, she ensures that everyone, regardless of background, can engage with and experience art. She believes public art is not just about beautifying a space, it's about providing visibility and recognition to the people who make up the fabric of the community.

Symone’s work is a tribute to the resilience and strength of her subjects, whom she depicts with deep admiration and respect. She wants people to feel seen, heard, and valued through her art, believing that representation and recognition are vital to fostering a sense of belonging. At the heart of her practice is a commitment to creating art that empowers individuals and strengthens the bonds within her community.
