Safe Space is a powerful new installation at 107 Projects, Redfern by emerging artist Shelley Watters. It explores the impact of gender-based violence in our community during 16 Days of Activism, (#16daysofactivism) a worldwide campaign to eliminate gender-based violence. The cocoon-like forms made of bedsheets examine the physical, emotional, and psychological damage of violence and coercive control inflicted on survivors. Safe Space will donate 50% of profits from sales of photographic prints and wearable-art to the long-running feminist, grassroots organisation the Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre (WAGEC) that has served the Redfern community since 1977. WAGEC supports 200 women and children each night that are impacted by homelessness, domestic violence, and systemic disadvantage. At 2pm on Sunday 10 December (Human Rights Day) Watters will do an artist talk and WAGEC will deliver a free two-hour gender-based violence bystander and ally workshop that will support the community to understand the root causes and safely intervene.
