Join MACS for a tour of the 2026 iteration of the Torch's annual Future Dreaming exhibition, led by First Peoples Arts Manager Clare Williams!

Future Dreaming is an annual exhibition presented by The Torch and established in 2020. The series makes space for every First Peoples artist in prison to envision a future beyond incarceration and share their forward dreaming with the wider community. It offers a platform for voices often silenced to be heard, and a space for connection, healing, and change.

The overrepresentation of First Nations peoples in Australia’s criminal legal system remains one of the nation’s most pressing and painful challenges. Despite representing under 4% of the total population, First Nations community members account for 36% of the prison population. These stark statistics, compounded by ongoing systemic inequities rooted in colonisation, paint a sobering picture of injustice that demands urgent attention. Amid this reality, Future Dreaming is a testament to the transformative power of art and cultural connection in building pathways for healing, connection, advocacy and change.

Following the event, we'll be heading to the Clyde for our traditional end of semester drinks night - we'd love to see you all at both events, so sign up now!
