Confined Creativity: Unveiling the Art of Isolation
a curated collection of art by men at HMP Hull
As unique and challenging environments, prisons are ideal sites for controversial news stories and most media coverage tends to be negative. But prisons are also places where positive things can and do happen. This exciting new exhibition showcases the talent behind our prison walls and will enable visitors to see that the arts in prison can bring people together and have positive impacts for all members of our local community. As a champion of social justice and community engagement, the University of Hull is proud to have worked with HMP Hull to bring this exhibition to life.
The exhibition runs from Friday 7th June to Saturday 31st August 2024.
Open daily 10am - 5pm, with late opening Tuesdays 7pm.
