Silent Tears

The power of this exhibition lies within the stories shared by the sixty-two participants who are women with a disability who have been subjected to violence and women who have acquired their disability caused by violence. Their lives have been forever changed by the violence that they have endured and their road from victim to survivor can be challenging and isolating. In contributing to the Silent Tears project, all the women have intimately shared their stories of violence, in an unquestioning way, and in doing so, have made the personal political.
