Rupture: Film screening and panel

The Centre for Health Promotion Research are partnering with the School of Art's Inside/Out Lecture Series to bring a screening of Rupture to Leeds Beckett University on Tuesday 2 December 2025 (18:00-20:00) in the Leeds School of Arts Building.

Rupture is a film created by the Open Clasp Theatre Company who use participatory theatre to ignite activism, placing theatre at the heart of personal, social and political change. The film was co-created with women from HMP Low Newton and draws on their real-life experiences of motherhood in prison. With an estimated 60% of women in prison being mothers, Rupture shines a light on the challenges they face and highlights the urgent need to recognise and uphold their rights.

Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion with the Artistic Director from Open Clasp and the academic from Durham University who collaborated in the participatory project.
