Does art in the criminal justice system contribute to creating a less violent society, or can it do it harm?
This year, as part of The Monument Trust Fellowship, the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance's annual Anne Peaker lecture will focus on art and violence.
The event, at the National Theatre in London on Friday 5th October, will be chaired by Alison Frater with a panel debate from a variety of contributors including academics and artists. Speakers include:
- Rebecca Friel, Director, Odd Arts
- Chairman Kato, Artist and activist
- Keith Palmer, Director, The Comedy School
- Craig Pinkey, Urban Youth Specialist and Lecturer, University College Birmingham
- Michael Smith, Performer, Synergy Theatre Project
Synergy Theatre Project will also be performing their new play Blackout on the theme of youth violence.
The event will run from 6pm- 8pm with networking drinks until 9pm. Spaces are extremely limited so please book in advance.
