These Panels were followed by a Yoga session, and a Mural presentation to Rebecca Greene.  Rebecca founded Drawing Connections…at the edges to bring the rehabilitative nature of creativity to people in prison environments.  The basement courtyard mural, in which a wide range of students, staff, and visitor participated, was inspired by some Drawing Connections work during a Residency at HMP Whitemoor, summer 2018: https://www.crim.cam.ac.uk/news-events/news-folder/sunken-garden-mural
