ResearchWorks: Music at the Margins: Mapping Prison Music from the Periphery
Event Details
Music is an integral part of human life in times of joy and triumph, as well as in times of crisis and isolation.
In this talk, I reflect on the role of music in Norwegian prisons, where music’s acoustic and social resonances become critically important. As we tackle rising incarceration rates around the world, I discuss the relationship between prison music (including music education, music therapy, music-making and listening initiatives) and the sociocultural, political, ethical and aesthetic implications of this creative practice from multiple perspectives. Mapping the ways music is used – and is useful – in prison, this talk questions whether it is possible to create a more humane, positively transformative, and genuinely reparative prison experience.
