The exhibition, titled “Timing Out: Creative reflections on Prison Life” will showcase visual artworks, poetry, and music created by men serving long sentences, who are incarcerated at a maximum-security prison in England. The exhibition is part of Resonate Festival and its theme considers what it means to ‘do time’ and to move through major stages of life - youth, adulthood, and old age- while in custody. It also explores how incarceration impacts one’s sense of self, and their perception of time, space, belonging and justice. The exhibiting artists used a creative range of restricted materials and worked closely with the team of arts education staff at the prison and us, a group of Warwick academics from Sociology and Law who have been teaching at the prison since 2024. Their artworks offer a politically- attuned critique of questions of justice and injustice; freedom, responsibility and hope; and questions of pain, survival, and resistance.
