"We see more than a condemned person, more than a prisoner who is accused of committing a horrendous crime and who is sentenced to death. They too are capable of creating something thought provoking and beautiful."
Since the project's informal start in April 2015, there has been some great coverage of the work and the artists.
Below is a range of perspectives on the charity and work. If you would like to know more, or talk about the possibility of setting up an exhibition with the artwork, please email us here. |
