Yellow Ribbon Community <strong>Art</strong> Exhibition<br />
14 to 30 September 2012<br />
SAM Chapel<br />
Unspoken Secrets, 2011, pyrography on wood, 61cm x 46cm, private collection<br />
Held at SAM for the fourth time, the Yellow Ribbon Community <strong>Art</strong> Exhibition features original<br />
artworks by inmates. This year’s theme, Will, reflects an inmate’s impetus to change and overcome<br />
the challenges of reintegration, and the community’s pledge to support them. As a first, artworks by<br />
Changi Women’s Prison inmates will also be showcased. The centrepiece of this year’s exhibition is<br />
a hanging mobile jointly produced by the inmates and their families.<br />
Under the Yellow Ribbon <strong>Art</strong> Adoption Programme, visitors may also adopt art pieces in support of<br />
the Yellow Ribbon Fund and its beneficiaries.<br />
Launched in 2004 by S R Nathan, then President of <strong>Singapore</strong>, the Yellow Ribbon Project engages<br />
the community in accepting ex-offenders back into society.<br />
