SUMMARY:Open Eye Gallery: Open Eye Gallery (Online): Open Rooms #6: Operati
 on Jurassic
DESCRIPTION:OPEN ROOMS #6: OPERATION JURASSIC (ROXANA AND PABLO ALLISON)\n\
 n\n\n\n25 JUN 6-7:30PM\n\nLIVESTREAMED TO TWITCH: HEAD TO TWITCH.TV/OPENE
 YEGALLERY\n\n***\n\nIn March 2010\, Roxana Allison received a phone call f
 rom her brother Pablo\, a graffiti artist. His house had been raided in a 
 police crackdown on graffiti artists prior to the London 2012 Olympics\, a
 n initiative codenamed Operation Jurassic. Pablo spent 5 and a half months
  incarcerated\, followed by a period of over a year wearing a monitoring 
 device on his ankle which curfewed him at home for 12 hours each day. Thr
 oughout this process (and afterwards)\, Roxana and Pablo exchanged letters
 \, drawing\, photos and legal documentation. This was gathered together in
 to a book in 2018\, titled Operation Jurassic\, documenting the way their 
 relationship unfolded and deepened through creative acts of image-making.\
 n\nIn 2019\, Pablo was once again arrested by ICE in the US for reasons th
 at remain unclear. This experience is the basis of a new forthcoming proje
 ct\, in which the siblings once again reflect on connection (and disconnec
 tion) in the criminal justice system. For Open Rooms #6\, we invite Roxana
  and Pablo to give a walk through the project\, followed by a discussion o
 n photography\, isolation and the criminal justice system\, chaired by Jac
 ob Bolton (Open Eye Gallery).\n\nSiblings Roxana (1980) and Pablo Allison 
 (1981) are photographers of Mexican-British origin based in the United Kin
 gdom and Mexico respectively. Roxana graduated from the National School of
  Fine Art in Mexico City in 2006 with a degree in Fine Art and Pablo holds
  a degree in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales where he
  graduated in 2010. Their photographic practice focuses on themes of migra
 tion\, belonging\, memory\, place\, identity and justice.\n\nOpen Rooms is
  Open Eye Gallery’s online programme. It involves free live-streamed tal
 ks and workshops\, plus ongoing public discussions on our Discord communit
 y. It takes place in rooms all across the world — artists’ rooms\, cha
 t rooms and in your living room.\n\nOpen Rooms is livestreamed to our Twit
 ch channel\, an online streaming service. We’ll post all the Open Rooms 
 events on our events page\, so check back there for updates.\n\nWe also h
 ave a community of chat rooms and ongoing conversations on Discord\, a fre
