Soweto selected his exhibition from fine art, design, music and writing entered into the 2019 Koestler Awards from criminal justice settings across the UK. There were over 150 artworks on display, from music and poetry to paintings, drawings and sculpture. The title for the exhibition invited visitors to reassess their perceptions of people who have spent time inside.
Soweto Kinch’s curation of Another Me was part of a partnership with live music producers Serious as part of their Giant Steps talent development programme, which is funded by Help Musicians UK, Serious Trust, and Arts Council England.
