[In]Visible Exhibition
To mark 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence 2024, we are partnering with artist Stephanie Green to host [In]Visible an installation in the Lady Chapel from 25 November – 10 December 2024.
The exhibition will feature a series of ethereal voile panels adorned by the words of survivors.
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.
Inspired by the concept ‘behind closed doors’, this installation is an intimate exploration of the silent, unseen realities faced by people who have endured gender-based violence.
It offers a poignant juxtaposition - delicate fabrics moving gently, veiling the harsh and painful words of those who have shared their stories. At a distance, the beauty of the installation captivates. Yet, as you draw closer, the weight of these hidden truths becomes inescapable.
Each panel has been developed through community workshops and guided by those with lived experience, whose voices are represented in this piece. The contrast of softness and suffering is designed to draw light to an area often shrouded in silence.
This exhibition stands as both a tribute to the resilience of survivors and a call for all of us to confront the violence that often remains invisible.
Supported by Worcester BID, UK Shared Prosperity Fund - Worcester City Council,
JOY Project - Worcester Community Trust), Mothers’ Union, and Worcester Cathedral, [In]Visible is a reminder of our collective responsibility to acknowledge these stories, break the silence, and work toward healing and justice, as we journey in faith towards God’s restoration of community and an end to violence.
The exhibition is supported by materials to signpost to help for anyone in need or triggered.
