Fractured Landscapes and how we heal (2024-26)
This new work examines the impact of violence against women and girls, and how we heal from trauma through an immersive exhibition of sound, image and text by Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora, combined with research from workshops with women in refuge from four different towns & cities across England.
There will be a major exhibition of the work at The New Art Gallery Walsall in Spring 2026, and the work will tour to Open Eye Gallery, a partner organisation of the project, in Autumn 2026. This work has been supported by Arts Council England Project Grant, building on Dhaliwal-Boora's DYCP funded work Healing from Trauma (2023).
Project Partners
The following project partners and artist leads will be leading workshops across the country with women in refuge. The workshops will take place from in early 2025 and address the needs of women in refuge, exploring healing through art and giving voice to their experiences.
- The New Art Gallery Walsall & Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora will host a series of workshops in Walsall/Birmingham.
- Open Eye Gallery & Audrey Albert will host a series of workshops in Liverpool.
- Photo Fringe & Lynn Weddle will host a series of workshops in Worthing.
