Changemakers’ Guide to Prison Arts Programming explores practical tips and stories from the field about developing arts programs for incarcerated individuals.
This book is based on more than ten years of experience, during which Annie Buckley developed two in-depth programs with prisons in California, with a focus on one, Prison Arts Collective, which has brought arts programming to over 9,500 people since 2013. The book offers step-by-step guidance on developing comprehensive, meaningful, and student-centered programming behind bars, to build programs in and with carceral institutions specifically. It also explores themes of hope and transformation, interconnection and mutuality, and grief and loss.
Changemakers’ Guide to Prison Arts Programming is an essential tool for university faculty and others seeking to start similar programmes.
