Please note: this event will be held in person at Glasgow Zine Library.
Join survivor ambassadors from national Honour Based Abuse (HBA) charity, Karma Nirvana for an exhibition of artwork and a zine launch as part of a collaboration with researchers at the University of Nottingham’s Rights Lab and Glasgow-based organisation The Survivor Arts Community.
What Will Happen?
Enjoy exhibited artworks created during the project and pick up your free copy of a new zine, which features survivors' artworks and writing alongside information about HBA in the UK.
At the launch, the project team will discuss their participatory and collaborative ethos and the process through which they developed and conducted workshops with survivors of HBA to amplify their voices. Dr Lauren Eglen will talk about the inception of the project and its development, and Eloise Birtwhistle from Survivor Arts Community will discuss the participatory workshops that survivors undertook.
The exhibition will continue to run into the first week of 16 Days of Activism, from the 25th until the 29th of November. The opening hours will be:
