A new art exhibition in Melbourne calls attention to Indigenous incarceration in Australia. It’s on from April to July 2025 at Heide Museum of Modern Art in Melbourne.
The art works address the overrepresentation of Indigenous Australians in the criminal justice system and the crisis of deaths in custody. Their powerful responses are shown alongside the remarkable creative achievements of former and current incarcerated people in The Torch program.
Curator Kent Morris said the exhibition is a “call to action”, a way to raise awareness of the mass incarceration of First Nations people but also to shine a light on what is being achieved to break the cycle of Indigenous imprisonment. The exhibition hopes that visitors to the exhibition become alive to the humanity behind the statistics and to see how connection to art and culture has provided pathways to healing and self-determination.
