Art by Sasha Sark<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Within a few years of the Jonestown tragedy, a number of writers, poets, painters, playwrights, and musicians began to interpret the events through their own individual artistic visions. Over the years, these artists have included people of the Peoples Temple community itself \u2013 former members, survivors and family members \u2013 but by now, they have also included people who were not even born at the time of the events of November 18, 1978. This page lists some of those efforts and catalogs the writings which\u00a0have appeared over the years in the jonestown report<\/em>.<\/p>\n
