“Through an artistic and transformative prism, the exhibition broadens the perception of intimate partner violence beyond a women’s issue into the social landscape that may shape such violence and explores the visitors’ own relationship to power and control. The museum experience presents positive aspects of surviving, along with raising awareness and promoting action towards eliminating IPV.

The premise of examining this complex subject in the format of an art exhibition is that our entire community—people affected directly or indirectly by intimate partner violence—may find it acceptable to walk into an art venue and interact with media that seeks to illuminate experiences in ways that may cause us to question what we think we know about IPV. The artists selected for the exhibition unveil layers of insight that could be best achieved through the power of the creative experience.”
