The Association Art and Prison
The association "Art and Prison" originated from an initiative by well-known artists, who supported an exhibition im Rome entitled "Art from Prison” in 2007. The association was officially registered in 2009 in Berlin, the city in which a wall had separated people for decades.
Prison walls also separate people but we are convinced that in this situation art can build a bridge of understanding.
|
The association desires to make clear that beyond and across national borders, art can make a valuable contribution to humanity and to greater respect for human dignity; a service to the victims of criminality and crime. |
|
Our objectives:
|
The association is not aligned with any political party and is not bound to any specific denomination or ideology. The association's charitable, non-profit status is recognized by the German government and donations are therefore tax-deductible.
Art and Prison France was created in 2014 by Inga Khavkina-Lavolé and Bruno Lavolé.
The Art Contest 2014 - 2015
"Half a square meter of freedom" - this was the topic of the last art contest launched by Art and Prison. More than 200 people under arrest, from more than 20 countries, submitted their works.
