PAPERWORK: Art exhibition curated by the Koestler Trust at UK Supreme Court
- 3 August — 30 September 2016 *on now
The display draws upon over 6,500 entries to this year’s Koestler Awards, an annual scheme that has been recognising artistic achievement in the criminal justice and secure sectors for 54 years. The selected artworks explore the creative ways paper (a material integral to the workings of the legal system), has been re-imagined and re-worked by Koestler entrants in prison, serving community sentences or in secure psychiatric care. As part of its collaboration with Victim Support for this exhibition, the Koestler Trust invited people who had been affected by crime to respond to some of the artworks. Their responses are displayed within the exhibition. Works from the exhibition are available for sale, with proceeds supporting the work of both the Koestler Trust and Victim Support.
