The Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic and the Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art are collaborating to raise awareness about violence against women as a critical community issue. Together they invited a group of women who have experienced violence to participate in an expressive arts project where women create sculptures and install an art exhibition.
This year the women responded to the theme of wholeness, No part left out, by creating ceramic sculptures. Their works address within a very public sphere what is still very often seen as a private matter. These ceramic pieces help to raise public awareness of violence against women as an important social justice issue.
Opening Reception: December 8, 6:30 – 8:30 pm
