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]

SUMMARY:Young people in the criminal justice system - how can the arts respond?
DESCRIPTION:Annual conference: 27th February 2019\n9.30am – 4pm\nThe Crescent Theatre\, Birmingham\n£90 (£70 for Clinks members). \n\n\nOnline bookings for this event are now closed. If you are still interested in attending\, please contact events@clinks.org to be added to the waiting list. \n\nThe National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance (NCJAA) 2019 annual conference asks the question: How can the arts respond to the issues facing young people in the criminal justice system? \nThe conference aims to answer this question with workshops\, performances\, panel discussions and speeches from leading professionals and young people who have been in contact with the criminal justice system. \nIntermission Youth Theatre will be performing Verona Road\, the company’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Speakers include: \n\n(Video message) input from Edward Argar MP\, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice\nAbid Hussain\, Director of Diversity\, Arts Council England\nNathan Dennis\, Director\, First Class Legacy\nMatt Griffiths\, CEO\, Youth Music\nNeal Hazel\, Youth Justice Board\nLynnette Kelly\, West Midlands Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner\nJamal Khan\, Waltham Forest Council Young Advisor and author\nCraig Pinkey\, Criminologist and urban youth specialist\nLisa Rowles\, Director of Innovation and Evidence\, Khulisa\nSandwell Youth Offending Team\nUnitas\nDr Daniela Varley\, Director\, Recre8\nand more to be announced.\n\nIn the youth justice system\, nearly half of all children (under 18 years) are from black\, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds with increasing numbers of Muslims and the starkest disproportionality amongst Gypsy\, Traveller and Roma children. In the adult estate\, the distinct characteristics and needs of young adults (18–25 years) are unaddressed\, resulting in disproportionate reoffending rates. \nWe know from evidence that the arts have the power to transform lives\, reduce crime\, challenge stereotypes and enhance art and culture for all. So\, how can the sector help to support children and young people up to the age of 25 in contact with the criminal justice system? \nThe conference will discuss good practice and policy\, at both local and national levels\, where arts and culture aim to address: poor outcomes for young black\, Asian and minority ethnic people in custody; Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs); health and wellbeing; leadership and role models. We will also explore effective partnership work\, funding\, and how evidence is used to make change. \nNCJAA invites policy-makers\, voluntary organisations\, prison staff\, practitioners\, academics and artists working with the arts and young people in the youth/criminal justice system to attend and be a part of this important discussion. \n\nWe are offering 10 free places to those with a lived experience of the criminal justice system\, or for who cost is a barrier to attending. Places will be given confidentially and on a first come first served basis. If you would like to apply please email info@artsincriminaljustice.org.uk
