Prisons: the confined separation

Artphilein Library

Oct. 11th 2025

A visual journey that explores prison as a place of power, punishment, and control, but also as a space of resistance and potential transformation. From prison architecture to life behind bars, from the violations endured by minorities to artistic practices born within incarceration, photography becomes a tool to reveal the unseen, bridge distances, and restore humanity.
