An empty pink tote bag, slightly crumpled, on a white surface. With the words CAPTIVE Arts printed on the front.

Pinkly symbolic.

Yesterday, #CaptiveArts gathering was convivial, creative, infused with care and compassion. Sharing thoughts on art and creativity as moments of healing, strength, self, hope in a prison system in crisis /1

#BehindTheClosedCellDoor

Oooff - what an extraordinary full day of conversations about prison arts at the #captivearts symposium today. The voices of lived experience were strong in the room and added real weight to the debate. Massive thanks to @ana-chamberlen.bsky.social Roo, Faye and Sally for pulling it all together.

This⬇️ was excellent: some inspiring work happening in prisons; lives being transformed by art; #captivearts #artchangeslives

We are almost ready for our international prisoner arts symposium at Warwick Arts Centre on Thursday! Can’t wait to welcome all our speakers & participants. We’ll be sharing details via #captivearts and on www.captivearts.co.uk
