The Torch supports Indigenous offenders and ex offenders through its Indigenous Arts in Prisons and Community program. Central to the program is cultural learning, strengthening, expression and sharing.
‘Dhumbadha Munga (talking knowledge)’ looks at the two way relationship between the arts workers and the artists they support. Through dhumbadha munga, the artists learn, develop and reinforce their cultural identity to express and share their stories.
As it has done so for generations, Indigenous Culture remains alive through talking and sharing knowledge.
Artists include; Veronica Hudson, Jacob Kennedy, Robby Knight, Paul McCann, Kent Morris, Garry Scott, Ray Traplin and Peter Waples Crowe.
