Voices from Death Row: Art as a form of Expression

Voices from Death Row: Art as a form of Expression’, will bring together works created by people on death row around the world, as well as international artists and exonerees.

We invite you to this temporary art exhibition that will bring together works created by people on death row around the world, as well as international artists and exonerees. Explore paintings, drawings, poetry, and music, all created in the most challenging of circumstances.

Art has long been a tool for individuals to explore, process and communicate complex emotional and psychological experiences. For those on death row, art can offer a unique form of expression. We invite you to witness the transformative power of art as a tool for reflection and self-exploration, as well as for raising awareness of the inhumanity and injustice of capital punishment regimes the world over.

Date: Sunday 7th May and Monday 8th May
Time: 10am to 7pm
Venue: Oakeshott Room, Lincoln College, Oxford
Admission: Free (donations welcomed)
