High levels of Aboriginal incarceration is a deeply felt social issue amongst Victoria’s communities.
Now in its eighth year, CONFINED features artworks by Indigenous artists currently in or recently released from prison in Victoria.CONFINED has proven to positively impact on the prisoners and their families and assists in reducing recidivism rates.
The exhibition aims to support Indigenous offenders:
- with opportunities to connect with community
- to promote the practice of culture in rehabilitation
- and highlight the issue of over-representation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system.
The artworks explore issues of identity and connection to Culture and Country and many of the artists are first time exhibitors. All works in the exhibition are available for sale in line with the Victorian Governments Aboriginal Art Policy Model.
