Voices of Violence is an online exhibition by the Danish Cultural Institute in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania focus on issues such as gender equality, sexism, gendered violence and abuse by expressing reality and making it audible.
Voices of Violence tells the stories and experiences of women living in Denmark, Iceland, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania who have been exposed to sexual violence, sexism and gendered harassment.
The Voices of Violence space takes the shape of a labyrinth of experiences where Danish, Icelandic, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Belarusian actresses give voice to anonymous stories of many women. At the end of the exhibition, the visitors are invited to anonymously tell their own story and read the experiences of others. The exhibition grows as it travels from country to country and is connected with the insights and perspectives generated by the #metoo movement which has continued to gain in importance since 2017.
Voices of Violence reminds that no one should remain silenced. #VoicesOfViolenceHeard Visit the exhibition here.
