SUMMARY:Art of the Matter
DESCRIPTION:If family relationships are the golden thread to supporting children affected by parental imprisonment\, what role can the arts play in this?\nFor 2025 Clinks Family Network and the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) Anne Peaker Lecture are joining forces to bring you an in person event. \nClinks launched its family network in 2023 and has worked to bring the voluntary sector together to influence policy and practice. The network have highlighted the need for more funding for family work; consistent approaches to visits and the impact stigma has. This event will spotlight how organisations offer a creative approach to supporting children and families affected by the criminal justice system. It aims to bring together voluntary organisations\, art practitioners\, researchers\, and stakeholders to listen to and discuss how the arts have been used as a vital tool to support families. \nThis event will celebrate the work of the voluntary sector working to support children and families of those in the criminal justice system by creating opportunities to share learning and good practice\, network and consider future opportunities. \nThis event has been coproduced with All Things Considered Theatre who will be showcasing their fantastic performance\, ‘8 Hours There and Back’\, following the stories of Ruby\, Jake and Grace as they navigate a world that they shouldn’t be in and a system that has forgotten about them. Told through a fusion of dance\, projections\, and words ‘8 Hours There and Back’ examines how a system set up by adults is failing the children. This piece is inspired by the stories from children. Every story belongs to someone. \nAnne Peaker was a pioneer of arts for\, and by\, people in the criminal justice system. This event honours her work and legacy\, which forms the basis of the work NCJAA do today. \nFind our more and book your tickets here\n

This event will be packed full of insightful sessions relating to the conference theme of What does building back better look like for the arts in criminal justice? \n\n\n\nThe last two years have been difficult for those working in the arts in criminal justice. But this hard time has also highlighted the extraordinary adaptability of creative individuals and organisations who have continued to support and inspire people in the criminal justice system\, while responding to the pandemic and far reaching changes in criminal justice policy. \nAs we emerge from the pandemic and arts organisations move from survival to recovery mode\, there is a critical need to learn from our experiences and share successful approaches to the ‘new normal’ that 2022 and beyond will bring. \nWith a day of keynote speakers\, panel discussions and workshops\, the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) welcomes everyone to attend and learn about how we can all best move forward together. \n  \nConference Agenda \nNCJAA Co-Chairs Anna Herrmann\, (Clean Break)\, and Simon Ruding\, (TiPP)\, will give an opening address before keynote speeches from Esther Thompson (One Small Thing) and Jennifer Walmsley (BearFace Theatre) on the importance of organisations embedding trauma-informed practices in their ways of working. \nA panel discussion will focus on what building back better looks like from a range of different settings. Ralph Lubkowski\, (Governor of HMP Hewell)\, will share his views on what best practice for arts provisions could be within prisons and Erika Flowers (Koestler award winning artist)\, will discuss fairer employment opportunities for freelancers with lived experience and independent artists working in the criminal justice system \nAttendees are invited to join afternoon workshops facilitated by specialists who have developed better ways of working during the pandemic. This year\, workshops will be led by In Focus Education and Development\, Odd Arts\, It’s Not Your Birthday But…\, and Niki Gibbs. \n  \nWorkshops \nThere are four workshops being delivered at our conference\, with attendees able to select which two they would like to participate in when registering for the event: \nWorkshop 1: Online Delivery of the Bronze Arts Awards \nXavier Fiddes (In Focus Education and Development) will discuss how his creative organisation used technology to successfully deliver services during the pandemic; and how it can be used to support creative discovery with groups such as young people in the criminal justice system. \nWorkshop 2: Bringing Arts in Criminal Justice to a Wider Public Audience \nNiki Gibbs (artist and NCJAA member) will explore ways we can bring arts within criminal justice into the public domain\, using the Women’s Building on the former site of HMP Holloway as a case study. \nWorkshop 3: Isn’t That Risky? \nRebecca Friel (Odd Arts) will outline how her arts organisation responded to the crisis and how it shifted their understanding of risk. She will explore emotional versus rational decision making when making professional decisions and how we must all embrace risk in the future. \nWorkshop 4: Who has the power? Do we truly co-create in secure settings and how can we do it better? \nWendy Smithers (It’s Not Your Birthday But…) will be having an open conversation about what co-creation looks like in secure settings and how arts organisations working within the criminal justice system can better place the communities they serve at the heart of power. \n\n\n\n\nCosts\n\n\n\nFree \n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n\n10:00 – 12:00\nWelcome & Introductions\nNCJAA Co-Chair Anna Hermann (Clean Break)\n\n\nNCJAA Co-Chair Simon Ruding (Theatres in Prisons & Probation Centre)\n\n\nKeynote Speakers\nEsther Thompson (One Small Thing) & Jennifer Walmsley (BearFace Theatre)\n\n\nBecoming Trauma-Informed – why is it important and how do we achieve it?\n\n\nPanel Discussion & Q&A\nRalph Lubkowski (Governor HMP Hewell) & Erika Flowers (Koestler award winning artist)\n\n\nBuilding Back Better in secure settings; Freelancer Advice; Fairer Employment Opportunities\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00\nBreak\n\n\n\n13:00 – 14:00\nFirst Workshops\nXavier Fiddes (In Focus Education & Development) – how can we better use technology?\n\n\nNiki Gibbs (Artist and NCJAA member) – how do we bring arts into the public domain?\n\n\n 14:00 – 14:30\nBreak\n\n\n\n14:30 – 16:00\nSecond Workshops\nRebecca Friel (Odd Arts) – how do we now think about risk when making decisions?\n\n\nWendy Smithers (It’s Not Your Birthday But…) – power and how to co-create in art organisations?\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text] \nImage Credit: Elijah Thompson \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Opening on 21st May\, the exhibition’s theme of power and creativity was inspired by a soap sculpture from the museum’s collection\, created by someone in prison\, whose power to connect with viewers sparked the idea for the project.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
