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!
Conservation Is Key

Oil Paint on Canvas

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).

I Am Tired
By Anthony
Tired from being told what to do. I am tired of love, tired of being deemed guilty, tired of my own remorse. I am tired of my own self-doubt, my own shadows and especially tired of my own face.

I Hate You, Crystal Meth
By Mackenzie
Hate’s a strong word, but for you it’s reserved. I hate what you’ve taken from me, my parents, my childhood and my glee.
