The Strength & Vulnerability Bunker This year’s exhibition is filled with images, objects, sounds and films that reveal personal reflections, regrets and hopes. Mercury Prize-winning rapper Speech Debelle has selected artwork, which she feels should be preserved as testament to the importance of human creation, from the thousands of entries to the 2013 Koestler Awards. This year the Koestler Trust received more than 7,000 entries from over 300 prisons, special hospitals and other establishments.
