CGWG Workshop // Creating in Confinement: Co-production, Creative Methods and Carceral Geographies

Workshop Overview

This workshop explores how creative practice and research enable novel forms of knowledge production in carceral settings. Providing researchers across career stages with opportunities to meet, share experiences and try out creative approaches for their own work, the workshop is open to all. Morning and afternoon sessions open with keynote speakers engaged in creative practice in carceral settings:

·       Paula Harriott (Unlock),

·       Laura Caulfield (Wolverhampton University), and

·       Maria Adams (Doing Porridge, University of Surrey): Spaces of Creativity in Women’s Prisons

These in-depth presentations will be followed by practical workshops on:

·       Silhouettes that Speak: Mapping Emotions, Building Bonds (Karen Hoecker Pérez)

·       Arts & Abolitionist Futures (ally walsh)

We will close the day with a celebration of recent publications in carceral geography and an informal social gathering.
