You’ll Know It When You Feel It is a socially engaged art project that seeks to resist bureaucratic representations of women whose lives intersect with the prison industrial complex.
Co-created by Raphaela Rosella with several women in her life, this intimate archival project has emerged over fifteen years. From phone calls to photographs, the exhibition unveils the ineptitude of ‘official records’ and examines their co-created archive as a site of resistance.
Presented in partnership with advocacy organisation Sisters Inside, You’ll Know It When You Feel It will be accompanied by a series of community-engaged programs led by contemporary Meriam/Munbarra artist and prison abolitionist Boneta-Marie Mabo – including performances, panel discussions, artist talks, and workshops.
