Over the past few weeks we've been working with Steve Slack to plan our 2024 project exhibition Midlands Arts Centre (MAC). A wonderful opportunity to review all the incredible creative work produced HMP LINCOLN, HMP Liverpool and by @andyaitchison. Working hard to do it all justice!
An exciting morning installing a new exhibition Museum of Liverpool. To all our project participants HMP Liverpool, yes you really do have your artwork and creative writing on show in your city's museum! All beautifully illustrated with the amazing photography of @andyaitchison
Our new atrium display by The Persistence of the Victorian Prison explores life in a Victorian prison through the artwork and poetry of the people held in HMP Liverpool and photographs by @andyaitchison
You can see this fascinating new display by The Persistence of the Victorian Prison, featuring artwork and poetry by people in HMP Liverpool, in our atrium now

The Persistence of the Victorian Prison Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) The Howard League Economic and Social Research Council Opening Night was wonderful. It was such a special thing to see people’s faces as they came into the room and to talk to them about their favourite/least favourite/most provocative bit. Lucky to have this kind of job to do!!
Prof Robin Miller Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) Birmingham School of Social Policy Bham City Council The Barber Institute Uni of Birmingham The Persistence of the Victorian Prison Well, what you took away from it was exactly what we'd hoped! (And in truth, it is really the work of the people behind the creative work, and of course the amazing photography of @andyaitchison )
