In this episode, we hear from photographer and prison abolitionist Nick DeRenzi. He takes us back to his first days with a camera, and through the years as an artist, community organizer, and movement documenter. They say a photo can tell a thousand words, and Nick doesn't stop there. Listen in for a sneak peek of his upcoming film project, which is both a testament to the beauty and resilience of the Bay Area community and also a generous offering to the legacy (and promise) of sustained political resistance on these lands.

We talked prison abolition, the intention behind capturing photos and movements of people's lives, artist co-ops and tapping into creativity in more ways than one. This rich conversation explores restorative justice practices, community accountability as an act of love, and the complexities of identity and place.
