This work was part of GOMA’s Arts and Human Rights programme, and was shown alongside Barbara Kruger’s ‘Don’t Die for Love’ exhibition. The work was created during 16 process-driven participatory arts workshops that I co-designed and facilitated with women at Phoenix House, a residential rehabilitation facility in Glasgow.

For almost all the women there, this was their first time making art, and as you can see here, they created an incredible collective work - using a visual language to tell the stories they wanted to, in the way they wanted to.

Materials: soft hollow latex (hanging holding arms), wax-cast body parts (signifying catalyst moments for change, somatic story finding), a conveyer belt which stayed on permanently (carrying stories in cast-body-moments, systemic violence in motion).
