Mission

We Are All Criminals strives for a more just and equitable world where we are able to transcend our pasts and reach our full potential. We do this through art and personal stories of crimes that people got away with, or crimes for which people were caught, and an examination of how their lives could have been or were altered. WAAC uses visual art and storytelling to change people's perceptions of the criminal legal system and of the false dichotomy between criminal and clean.

One in four people has a criminal record, but all of us have a criminal history. We Are All Criminals collects stories from people who have the luxury of living without an official reminder of a past mistake and encourages those people to consider how different their lives would be had they been caught. We educate them about the disparate impact race, ethnicity, and class have on whether a neighborhood is policed, whether a person is arrested, charged, and prosecuted, how heavily they are punished, and how harshly they are impacted by collateral consequences after they have served their court-assigned punishment. WAAC collects stories from people who were caught and allows those individuals to reclaim their stories, providing personal information that is more pertinent to their character than a past criminal act. WAAC collects stories from family members of incarcerated individuals, and amplifies the voices of currently incarcerated artists. Stories are shared through photographs, poetry, and prose, in art exhibits, presentations and trainings, and the website, to encourage everyone to reassess the relevance of a criminal record when making decisions about housing, employment, licensing, and nearly every other aspect of a person's life. These stories are grouped into categories such as "Luxury to Forget," "More Than My Mugshot," "Ripple Effect," "See Me," "SEEN." SEEN artists participated in an exhibition at the Weisman Art Museum in Spring 2025.
