The organizers emphasize that this is not just an exhibition, but an important story about hope, inner development, and second chances. The event aims to help society gain a deeper understanding of the resocialization processes occurring within the penitentiary system, as well as to reveal the creative abilities of individuals who, while incarcerated, strive for self-expression and creation.
The exhibits at the exhibition reflect not only artistic techniques but also personal experiences, labor, patience, and the desire to change one's fate. Each piece of art symbolizes a step towards a new future, a wish to be heard and understood.
The program of the event includes:
- presentation of artistic and applied works by convicts;
- charity sale of paintings to support convicts and their families;
- open discussion on the importance of resocialization and social support;
- raising public awareness of human stories beyond penitentiary institutions.
These works are the voice of people who are learning to believe in themselves again, to discover new opportunities, and to strive for change.
We invite all citizens to participate in the event "Үмүттүн кыл калеми" — a unique space where art serves as a bridge between the individual and society.
