The visual identity of the project «Honest Outlaws – Face. Freedom. Silence» was designed by Melina Karanika. It symbolizes the architectural relationship between the two spaces where the project took place, was created and exhibited: the prison and the museum (two heterotopias according to Michel Foucault).

The exhibition «Honorable Outlaws - Face. Freedom. Silence» is based on the ability of contemporary art to create space-time frameworks in which people – who would have never met under different circumstances – can coexist, cooperate, and co-create. Nine artists and an art theorist went to the 3rd Second Chance School of Thessaloniki of the Central Correctional Facility of Thessaloniki (Diavata) and created workshops (2017-2019). The artists were chosen according to the relativity of their practice to the problematics of approaching confinement, through critical aesthetics. Inmate students experienced contact with contemporary art and the artists came face to face with the heterotopia of prison and the people who experience it every day. The exhibition includes texts and works of both students and artists. Some of the works are collective, some others have been created by the students under the guidance of the artists and others are artworks of the 9 artists which emerged from their experience in the prison.
