The Torch's Future Dreaming exhibition opens today! VLSB+C is a proud supporter of The Torch’s vital work in access to justice and improving outcomes for First Nations Victorians. The exhibition is on display at The Torch Gallery, 146 Elgin St Carlton, Wurundjeri Country until Saturday 23 November.
'Future Dreaming' is an exhibition of 250 artworks created by First Nations artists incarcerated in Victorian prisons in 2024. Each artist has created an artwork that explores their concept of “Future Dreaming.” Re-entering society after incarceration is a challenging transition, with 50.2 per cent of incarcerated #Aboriginal and #TorresStraitIslanders returning to prison within two years of their release. The Torch works with artists to strengthen the cultural, economic, and social connections that help break the cycle of reoffending. Using brushes, paint and canvas, artists participating in 'Future Dreaming' explore dreamt and potential pathways ahead of their release. The resulting artworks express their visions and aspirations.

We were delighted to host guests from Australia and the world this week for a special event, Lawyer wellbeing: research into practice, compered by our own Lawyer Wellbeing Manager, Lucy Fraser. Industry-leading researcher Lucinda Soon shared insights on the last 50 years of research into #lawyerwellbeing and where it’s heading. Professor Vivien Holmes from the The Australian National University (ANU) shared initial findings from research into workplace culture, ethics and lawyer wellbeing – which is being supported by VLSB+C, Legal Practice Board of Western Australia and The Law Society of NSW. Matt Healey spoke about the VLSB+C’s Theory of Change project, which will see the legal system co-design a shared model for system-wide change in lawyer wellbeing. To end the session, Lucinda Soon sat down with Carly Schrever PhD and Law Institute of Victoria’s Wellbeing Manager, Emily Knowles, for a conversation to share research, information and ideas about lawyer wellbeing. Thank you to all our special guests for this productive and inspiring session. Step by step, this important work is creating a system that fosters better lawyer wellbeing.
