Workshop | Reimagine Our Communities: Poetry, Poster Making, and Prison Abolition
Event description
Prison abolition requires us to reimagine our communities without relying on policing, prisons, and punishment—creating a more just, equitable, and compassionate world rooted in principles of care and collective liberty.
Join Meanjin–based artists and prison abolitionists Boneta-Marie Mabo and Ruby Wharton to reimagine our communities through creative approaches to poetry, poster making, and prison abolition.
Free and open to all, this drop-in workshop accompanies the socially engaged exhibition You’ll Know It When You Feel It. The IMA Courtyard will also be activated with a new banner made by women and girls supported by prison-advocacy organisation Sisters Inside Inc.
