Future Dreaming is an exhibition of 250 artworks created by First Nations artists incarcerated in Victorian prisons in 2024. Each artist has created an artwork that explores their concept of “Future Dreaming.”
Re-entering society after incarceration is a challenging transition, with 50.2% of incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders returning to prison within two years of their release. The latest Closing the Gap report shows that adult incarceration of incarcerated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders is increasing.
The Torch works with artists to strengthen the cultural, economic, and social connections that help break the cycle of reoffending. Using brushes, paint and canvas, artists participating in Future Dreaming explore dreamt and potential pathways ahead of their release. The resulting artworks express their visions and aspirations.
The Torch takes no commission on sales, meaning that 100% of the proceeds of each sale go directly to the artist.
Future Dreaming will be on display in the community from Friday 25th October – Saturday 23rd November at The Torch Gallery in Carlton, Wurundjeri Country (Victoria) and viewable online.
