This art exhibition will be surrounding the issue of Gender Based Violence. Artwork is being supplied by artists all over the country, some victims themselves.
About
I will be exploring how the medium of art can provide an accessible and emotive platform in facilitating a discussion of gender based violence. The current silence around the issue is stark and there is a need for a new dialogue. Therefore, the new 'art dialogue' will be showcased via an art exhibition through a range of art work in various media from artists around the UK, some victims and some well established artists. The project is aimed at the wider public, raising awareness for the issue, reducing the fact that gender based violence is a taboo subject in society.
The exhibition will include a silent auction of many pieces and the money raised will go to the three charities below.
The exhibition will be FREE ENTRY, however donations are welcome to raise money for Coventry Haven https://www.coventryhaven.co.uk/, RSVP (Birmingham) https://rsvporg.co.uk/ and Rugby Survivors Trust https://www.thesurvivorstrust.org/
