Robin Harris, Founder and Creative Director of Finding Rhythms
Jazz musician Robin Harris began delivering creative music projects in HMP Wormwood Scrubs in 2005. He quickly realised that empowering prisoners to create their own music through reflection had incredible effects on their well-being.
In 2012 Finding Rhythms was officially born and has since produced over 100 albums of original music, written and performed by people in custodial and community settings.
Robin will be talking about the power of songwriting and music in exploring personal narrative and stories, particularly for those affected by the criminal justice system.
