In Breaking the silence you will discover the work of three artists. Each one sheds light on stories that are often overlooked. They break the silence around sexual violence and abuse of power. Using drawings, collages and photography, they turn art into a way of processing emotions and sharing their message.

‘This is the story I want to tell. About how I managed to make things right with myself. It’s not an easy story, but it is a true one.’
