In Sydney in May 2024, Damien Linnane (editor of the prison magazine Paper Chained) held an exhibition of art by people in prison around the world. Linnane managed to obtain over 100 artworks from currently and formerly incarcerated people in eight different countries. These ranged from embroidery works from a women’s prison in Mexico, to sculptures made out of toilet paper from an artist in Queensland. The public feedback was incredible. Money from sold works was also sent back to the artists, to encourage further creativity in custody. Some of the images from the exhibition are reprinted here.

Prison is a noisy place, yet at Risdon Prison, in Tasmania – nestled near bushland and close to the Risdon Brook Dam – the sounds of nature still break through. Despite the din, the calls of native birds are unmistakable.
