What do we mean by co-curated?
This is a guest blog by David Kendall, the founder of "Penned Up" - a literary festival that takes place in prison.
David started "Penned Up" because he felt people in prison were denied agency – art was done to them. The festival started in HMP Lewes in 2015, and has run programmes in Downview and Erlestoke with the latter becoming its base. The model is always a committee of prisoners working with the festival directors to put together a programme reflecting the interests and needs of its prison audience.
