Across the nation, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to be incarcerated at profoundly disproportionate rates due to the ongoing impacts of systemic racism within Australia's criminal legal system.
First Peoples with lived experience of incarceration share their stories in My Special Place: Cultural Connectivity and Self-determined Decarceration, a deeply human and poignant exhibition. Featuring powerful artworks and artist videos, the exhibition highlights the realities and impacts of incarceration and the importance of cultural practice as a pathway towards connection, renewal and justice.
All artworks will be available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds going directly to the artists. The space will also feature a pop-up library courtesy of Readings, with books by First Peoples writers available to read and purchase.
Presented in partnership with The Torch for NAIDOC Week
