Working with comics and cartoons, mime and mask, Mimetolith places creativity, play, and storytelling at its heart.

Who

are we?

  • We believe that art and education are for everyone. Bringing physical theatre and comic book based pedagogies to the criminal justice context and beyond, Mimetolith teach DIY approaches to storytelling and creative collaboration.

  • We work with incarcerated learners, people with criminal records, families affected by the criminal justice system, victims of crime, people in recovery, and public and third sector organisations to deliver a holistic and wide-reaching approach to justice, education and mental health. 

  • While much of our work takes place within the criminal justice landscape, our workshops and projects have applications across the education and arts sectors, and we are always eager to collaborate with and facilitate for individuals and organisations across the arts and education spectrum.
