We’re very excited to announce @ana-chamberlen.bsky.social and @henriquecarvalho.bsky.social whose book Questioning Punishment is such an important addition to the debate, will be joining us for a post show discussion on 11 April. Tickets here www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/sta...

It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.

Ended the year with @saulhewish.bsky.social and Rideout thinking about punishment with two days of R&D for our 2025 show Punishment Acts. Striking to think creatively together about our emotional, political, and personal relationships to punishment. Part of the AHRC Staging Justice project.

A fabulous first day of R&D on Rideout’s new show, Punishment Acts. Big thanks to all involved and esp @sarahbartley.bsky.social whose AHRC funded project this is all part of. #stagingjustice

A great day today at Restoke with @sarahbartley.bsky.social and Terri Ann exploring all things Transformative Justice. A lot to consider and deconstruct. Loved working with notions of harm, justice, and accountability. Really useful slide here from the Resist and Renew podcast
