About this Event
Saskia Keeley’s photography workshops in prisons go far beyond teaching technique—they open a path to self-expression, dignity, and renewal. Through the lens, incarcerated individuals learn to see themselves and each other differently, moving past the labels of “inmate” or “convict” to reclaim their humanity. Their portraits reveal beauty, courage, and individuality even within confinement.
In this presentation, Saskia Keeley invites you to follow that same progression: to witness transformation, to reconsider stereotypes, and to recognize the humanity and creativity that can never be taken away.
