walking alongside trauma
The Walking Alongside Trauma (WAT) initiative, led by the Craft Council of BC (CCBC), is a material-based arts exploration of the vicarious traumatization of sexualized violence. The purpose was to examine the various impacts of the vicarious traumatization of sexualized violence (VTSV) on society, particularly for those who interact directly with survivors’ trauma (e.g., crisis support workers, family members, health care workers, educators, peers, etc.), who we refer to as “Witnesses”. Thirteen material-based artists have worked with these individuals to translate their experience into objects that will be the basis for a touring exhibition. Alongside the exhibition we are planning to engage the wider community through programming that will further explore the impact of VTSV.
