Koestler Arts presents 'IN CASE OF EMERGENCY', their 16th annual UK exhibition at the Southbank Centre

  • Visual Arts

Opening on 2 November, the show curated by award-winning poet Joelle Taylor, features nearly 200 artworks by artists in prison and other secure establishments from across the UK. The exhibition, in partnership with the Southbank Centre, draws attention to themes of separation and connection through a series of glass cases and vitrines, inviting the public to metaphorically ‘break the glass’ and overcome barriers to creativity.
