Walk through it. Then do one thing.
From 22 to 26 June 2026, CONTAINED stands in public space at Victoria Square in the City of Adelaide on Kaurna Yarta, beside the Reintegration Puzzle Conference, with Tandanya as the backup site. It begins with one question: why are children locked up before a court has decided anything, and what would keep them safely at home with family, school, and support?
