Each artwork offers a glimpse into the artist’s vision of the future – from deeply personal hopes, such as reuniting with family, returning to Country, or reconnecting with culture, to broader reflections on the future of political, social, and environmental systems.
This exhibition poses a powerful question: What future do artists emerging from the prison system imagine for themselves?
