Art

Transformation

Date: Tuesday, Sep 17 2019 - Saturday, Sep 28 2019
Venue:

Works produced by prisoners and ex-offenders from HMP Leyhill near Bristol.

Using different media and styles, the artists were challenged to depict transformation and what change might look like when they are released, life as they knew it restored, hope and the future returned and a better or changed ‘person’ gets the opportunity to grow and have a new life.

Prodigal Arts is a charity that provides opportunities for talented prisoners and ex-offenders to produce and sell artwork created in their own voluntary time as part of their ongoing rehabilitation.
