Welcome to the International Justice Arts Network! We are an international collective committed to promoting the arts across all fields of justice-related efforts and welcome new members – see joining details below. We are a unique network that seeks to promote different levels of exchange on the relationship between arts (broadly conceived) and justice problems and see it necessary that those exchanges are not siloed but are widespread, assessable, equitable, and remain necessarily multi-stakeholder and global.

The International Justice Arts Network (IJAN) launched in 2025 as an expansion of the Captive Arts research study’s engagement and outreach activities. The Captive Arts research study, led by Prof. Ana Chamberlen at Warwick Sociology and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and by an ESRC Impact Acceleration Account fund sought to investigate the creative lives of people inside English prisons. As part of that project a series of collaborations and exchanges emerged with arts-organisation, creative, education and prison practitioners, activists and freelancers which expanded onto a series of conversations and formed this network which now includes members from across all continents and it’s fast growing.
