The Cross Art Projects foregrounds contemporary work and curatorial projects that reflect the multiple relationships between art, life and the public sphere, and explores the boundaries of this context. We are attentive to the local without sacrificing the scope of Indigenous and international views. Cross Art enhances its projects with conversations, walks and events.

This exhibition confronts Australia’s disgraceful and systemic mass incarceration crisis and the over-representation of First Nations people within it. Artists have the imaginative power to remind us that the pinnacle of human activity is the dignity of all people. They help us imagine a future where crime and imprisonment rates are low; a society where people of every social and economic background have an equal opportunity to flourish as dignified human beings in thriving communities.
