About Creativity Unconfined

In a world where true crime is romanticised, we become desensitized to the humanity that is often constrained inside carceral systems. You are invited to witness as Dr. Dave Gussak and a variety of weekly guests dive deep into how the arts benefit those on both sides of the bars. Creativity Unconfined relies on the voices of change-makers, program developers, art facilitators, art therapists, correctional staff, and the formerly incarcerated to explore the hidden depths of how the arts can dismantle the barriers that confine, and rehumanizes those dehumanized.
