Overview

An evening of words & live music with Rory Pilgrim, Robyn Haddon, Carina Murray & HM Prison Portland facilitators.

Chisenhale Gallery presents an evening of words & live music with Rory Pilgrim, Robyn Haddon, Carina Murray & HM Prison Portland facilitators. Following long-term collaboration with individuals with direct experience of the criminal justice system – young people from the island, men imprisoned at HMP Portland, members of the prison’s education team from Weston College, and long-term collaborators further afield – this event, commissioned as part of Pilgrim’s Chisenhale Gallery exhibition, considers prevention, repair, transformation and growth, through storytelling and song.

pink & green, Pilgrim’s latest commission, imagines a new form of law based on transformation and restorative justice. Through working with others, Pilgrim makes tangible the emotional impact of legal systems on our lives, our environment and the world we inhabit, asking us to reconceive justice as a form of spiritual sanctuary.
