Thirty minutes inside a shipping container, and the argument stops being abstract.
Three rooms. A threshold you cross on purpose. Then you walk out, which is the part a child on remand does not get. We are building it as we go, because the people who need to see it cannot wait for perfect.
a day to hold one young person in detention. $423.56 a day to support one in the community. Both figures are the cost per average day per young person, nationally, in the same year, which is the only way the two can be set beside each other.
That an artwork is evidence. Nothing you feel inside that container proves anything, and it is not meant to. The evidence sits one click away, in a record that names its sources and says where it is thin, and it is deliberately not in here. A room can only make you willing to go and look.
Three Rooms
Thirty minutes. Three rooms. Each one tells a different part of the story.
Room 1: Current Reality
Young people who supported the build carry the first Room 1 story into a flexible Mount Druitt gathering and then the Adelaide activation on Kaurna Yarta. At every stop, local young people then shape the room from their own place and decide what the public needs to see.
Room 2: What Works
David from Diagrama helps anchor the practice lens for Room 2. The room is grounded in what we saw inside Diagrama's youth justice centres in Spain: education, therapy, family contact, 1:1 staffing, and a recidivism rate of just 13.6%.
Room 3: The Organisations Already Doing It
Room 3 is where local organisations show the programs already working and name what they need funded. Mount Druitt gives the process a small first gathering, Adelaide gets a public activation beside Reintegration Puzzle, then every stop rebuilds it with local hosts.
