Mud Stencil Action Tamms Year Ten

Over 30 artists and activists participated in a mud stencil action on June 6th, 2009 in Chicago. The event was organized by the Tamms Year Ten coalition, the Milwaukee artist Jesse Grave, and Nicolas Lampert of the Justseeds Radical Artists Cooperative. The action was designed to bring more public attention to the human rights abuses at the Tamms supermax prison in southern Illinois. Stencil crews went to various parts of the city, put up mud stencils on sidewalks and walls, and handed out fact sheets to curious pedestrians who were surprised to see "ecological" street art and an image that read "End Torture in Illinois" with the outline of the state and a star marking the location of the Tamms prison.
