This annual lecture honours the work and legacy of Anne Peaker by celebrating performance and arts created in, or inspired by, criminal justice.
We want to thank you in advance for joining the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance on 21 February, 16:00 – 18:00 for this free lecture online.
Carl Cattermole, our keynote speaker, is an author and public speaker. In 2011 he wrote Prison: A Survival Guide, following his early release from a two-and-a-half-year sentence. In 2019 his book was re-released by Penguin, with new contributions from female and LGBT prisoners, making it more radical than ever. Labelled 'the cult guide to UK prisons', Carl’s book offers a comprehensive breakdown of the rules and jargon you may encounter when experiencing the criminal justice system. He actively campaigns against unjust prison systems.
About Anne Peaker
Anne Peaker was an artist and selfless advocate for the rights of people on the margins of society to participate in the cultural life of the community. Above all, for her, that meant people living – often against their will – in public institutions including hospitals and prisons. The Anne Peaker Centre for Arts in Criminal Justice opened in 1996 and was operational for 14 years until the trustees of the charity wound up the work of the centre in 2010.
About the National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance
The NCJAA is a Clinks network that supports organisations who work within performance and arts and have a connection to criminal justice. The NCJAA was born out of the closure of the Anne Peaker Centre for Arts and honours Anne Peaker’s extraordinary work in this field.
