Comin' Home Soon

Comin’ Home Soon is an exhibition of artworks by Aboriginal inmates at Goulburn Correctional Centre and children from SHINE for Kids; in conjunction with playwright and multimedia artist Alana Valentine and Indigenous Producer Assistant, Alison Murphy-Oates.

Comin’ Home Soon is part of the second off-site project the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery has undertaken with Aboriginal inmates at Goulburn Correctional Centre through a Strategic Industry Development grant from ArtsNSW.

This exhibition is a result of workshops where Aboriginal inmates inside Goulburn Correctional Centre and Aboriginal children on the outside created a drawn thread that linked both the prisoners and the children of prisoners in a unique collaboration that encompassed both art and story telling. Conceived of and co-ordinated by Alana Valentine, the visual art workshops provided an access point for the storytelling revelations.

The exhibition will run from 26 October to 17 November 2012.
