An exhibition of 250 artworks created by First Nations artists incarcerated in Victorian prisons, where each artist has created an artwork that explores their concept of 'Future Dreaming'.
Re-entering society after incarceration is a challenging transition, with 50.2 percent of incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders returning to prison within two years of their release. The Torch works with artists to strengthen the cultural, economic, and social connections that help break the cycle of reoffending. Using brushes, paint and canvas, artists participating in Future Dreaming explore dreamt and potential pathways ahead of their release. The resulting artworks express their visions and aspirations.
Each painting measures 30x30cm and is affordably priced (all under $330). The Torch takes no commission on sales, meaning that 100 percent of the proceeds of each sale go directly to the artist.
