Space In Prison for the Arts and Creative Expression (SPACE)
-
In an environment with limited opportunities for individual expression and artistic exploration, SPACE provides inmates with a rare forum for critical engagement and creative thought. Working in teams of two or three, Brown students design and lead weekly workshops that emphasize participation, performance, play, collaboration, reflection, skill-building and creative expression within a safe and constructive space. For inmates who wish to showcase their work, SPACE publishes an annual collection of inmate art and writing and hosts a Gala exhibition open to the community. In addition to granting inmates a sense of ownership and pride, these productions give voice to traditionally silenced members of society.
