Tray, Tumbler, Spork

Earlier this year, some of the Ear Hustle team spent a month living under a specific set of constraints informed by the daily routines of our inside colleagues, changing the way we ate, got dressed, and exercised. The goal wasn’t to replicate prison life, but to see how constraint shapes the way we experience the world. We report back on what was hard, what was surprising, and what we discovered along the way.

You can learn more about the Ear Hustle Challenge here and about Tehching Hsieh’s performance art that inspired it here.

As always, big thanks to Lt. Sam Robinson and Warden Ron Broomfield for their support of the show.
