‘La Liberté’-La prison de la santé, Paris, 2023

This mural ‘La Liberté’ was done with the inmates at La Prison de la Santé in Paris in July 2023 in collaboration with the NGO Secours Catholique. We held several workshops, first to draw images and ideas from the inmates on what they missed and yearned to be able so see in the prison yard. From this material I created a design to include their visions and words such as ‘freedom’, ‘the sea’, ‘a horizon’, ‘nature’, ‘birds’ and ‘looking far’. In July 2023 we held a two weeks painting workshop with the inmates where they learned techniques and participated in creating their own mural, which for them was i a great escape from boredom into creation.
