Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company (SDTC) began running art workshops with women at Fairlea Women’s Prison over forty years ago. Weekly workshops continue with the women at Dame Phyllis Frost Centre and Tarrengower Women’s Prison to this day.
The artwork that emerges communicates a multitude of themes, voicing the women’s humanity, vulnerability and dreams. The satisfaction and sense of achievement the women experience can be life changing and in some cases, life saving.
The year’s workshops culminate annually in an exhibition of artworks alongside a theatre production woven from the women’s life stories delivered with humour, drama and song. The following images are from the 2024 production and exhibition titled “She’ll Be Apples.” More art to come in future editions!

By the 1930's fewer than 50 cape Zebras remained in the wild.
Fortunately, stricter controls and the establishment of the Mountain Zebra National Park have given the species a reprieve from extinction.
She'll Be Apples
By Sylvie, Jasmine, Emma, Rebecca, Kim and Amelda
Acrylic on canvas
2024
The artists from Tarrengower chose to paint this collaboration with the idea of contributing to the production "She'll Be Apples".
The image was constructed to create an uplifting feeling of safety and freedom, however an element of uncertainty remains (in the form of snake ribbons).

As This Time Comes to an End
By Punkin
As this time comes to an end, I wonder which way the next will bend. The earth and moon will do their thing, I’ll embrace everything.
