Dates: 2-22 January 2017
Location: University of Tasmania, Launceston, Tasmania
Website: The Studio at the Edge of the World
Deadline for expressions of interest: 1 October 2016
There is a major global problem of growing prison populations. So often prisons create more problems than they solve and become institutions of instruction in crime. Dominantly prison populations come from the most disadvantaged ethnic groups and social classes. At the most progressive, some prisons aim to humanise the incarcerated, but mostly they do the reverse.
Population pressure, rapid urbanisation, the displacement of people by conflict and climate change impacts all now converge to expand the nature of criminalisation.
This event will explore the issues, and examine ideas that radically redirect how prisons and refugee camps are conceptualised, designed and function with particular reference to liberatory forms of social change and education.
The program will be directed by Professor Tony Fry, and limited to 25 people selected from around the world. For more details and instructions on making an expression of interest go to the Learning Event section of Studio.
