How unjust incarceration at 17 inspired one man’s quilt art and activism

Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)

Today, Gary Tyler is a renowned fiber artist and activist. But he was once the youngest person on death row in the U.S., a man unjustly incarcerated at just age 17. He talks with World Economic Forum video producer Kateryna Gordiychuk about how his experience in prison introduced him to the medium and shapes his art. Gary worked as a volunteer during the AIDs epidemic in one of the first prison hospice programs in the country. The need to fund the program led Gary to learn quilting to raise money that could aid both the dying men and their families who wouldn’t be able to travel to see their loved ones otherwise. The experience drove home for Gary the need for mercy and advocacy in systems where people cannot advocate for themselves. Today, his art explores themes of freedom and individuality and he speaks frequently on the contributions any individual can make, regardless of their circumstance.

This interview was recorded at the Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland January 2025.
