ONGOING COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORK SUPPORT & COUNSELLING
Artspace Mackay
Empowering Women Through Art
I've recently been supporting an amazing group of women who are using their artistic creativity as a way to reconnect after experiences of domestic violence in their lifetime.
This initiative, hosted by Artspace Mackay, provides a wonderful opportunity for victims of domestic violence to foster a sense of wellbeing and belonging. Under the guidance of the renowned and experienced Artist-in-Residence, Dr Karike Ashworth, they'll create meaningful artworks as a way of sharing their story.
The final collection of works curated by Karike, titled "Domestic Topograph," will be displayed in mid 2025 and subsequently donated to the Artspace Mackay Collection.
