Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora Fractured Landscapes and how we heal
28 March – 21 June 2026Floor 4This exhibition focuses on the role that nature and creativity can play in healing from trauma, particularly in the context of male violence and abuse against women and girls.
New photographic work by Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora will feature alongside works created by women from four refuges across the country, each working with a lead artist to inspire and encourage them.
Katy Sadler has worked with Birmingham & Solihull Women’s Aid, Audrey Albert has worked with Chrysalis Centre in St Helen’s, Lynn Weddle has worked with Safe in Sussex in Littlehampton and Lynda Laird has worked with Oasis in Gravesend.
A publication about the project will accompany the exhibition.
The project will tour to Open Eye, Liverpool in November 2026.
The project has been supported by an Arts Council England Project Grant with further support from Open Eye Gallery, Photo Fringe, Peter Marlow Foundation and Socially Engaged Photography Network.
