Help us to exhibit our project "No place like home"
Donation protected
No Place Like Home is a collaborative installation by Broken Home Collective : Alison Lowry from Northern Ireland, Olga Turetska from Ukraine, Linda Norris from Wales, Maria Scarognina and myself, Silvia Levenson, from Italy. The work investigates the home as a place of fear and will be displayed at the International Festival of Glass in Stourbridge from August 23rd to September 28th 2024.
Some 47,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their
intimate partners or other family members in 2020. This means
that, on average, a woman or girl is killed by someone in her own
family every 11 minutes (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report 2021). An estimated 160,000 children in England are currently living in households where domestic abuse is taking place (Women’s Aid, 2024) . Using art to draw attention to this issue is the aim of the Broken Home Collective. We come from all over Europe and the epidemic of violence against women is the same everywhere.
In February this year we came together in my studio in Italy for an experimental workshop to share our ideas and decide how we can work together to make a collaborative installation to highlight this topic. Our final installation will be revealed at the International Festival of Glass in August and Alison, Olga and Linda will travel to the festival to give a presentation and workshop on behalf of the Collective about our experience of working with glass as activist artists.
We are fundraising for £3500 to cover the costs of installing the work and to fund our travel and accommodation expenses.
Thank you for helping us in this project!!!!!!
