Artist Na Omi Shintani calls attention to incarcerated children

Twelve mattresses are arranged in a circle. Drawn on beds’ white fabric are the outlines of sleeping children. Their hands are curled up by their peaceful faces.
That tranquility is betrayed by the title of the installation: "Dream Refuge for children imprisoned." It is on display through May 18th at the Asian Arts & Culture Center at Towson University. 
Creator Na Omi Shintani founded the Kitsune Community Art Studio in Half Moon Bay and is a teaching artist at Creativity Explored for Disabled Adults and FootHill College.Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
