Peter Doherty chats to Loop about the therapeutic benefits of art.

After taking part in a life drawing session at HMP Barlinnie, Peter Doherty chats to Loop about the therapeutic benefits of art.

In July 2021, Libertines frontman Peter Doherty took part in a life drawing class at HMP Barlinnie in Glasgow, where he was sketched by a group of inmates serving time at Scotland’s largest prison. The resulting artworks were displayed in an exhibition later in the year, with the aim being to open up discussion about art as a tool of recovery and rehabilitation in a criminal justice setting.

The project was the brainchild of Joe Henry, a Glasgow School of Art graduate whose final university project was on the theme of ‘healing in a broken world’. Both Joe and Peter share their thoughts with Loop on the therapeutic benefits of art.
