"Out of Wounds: Art Uncovering Gender Violence"

Gender violence is a direct correlation to gender inequality; a social issue deriving from gender norms, and distinctions or assumptions made on biology. Gender violence includes sexual assault, rape, partner violence, sexual harassment, stalking, sex trafficking, and prostitution. Many people around the world experience a form of gender violence, with the majority being women.

 “Out of Wounds: Art Uncovering Gender Violence,” is a platform to allow those who have, or have known someone who has experienced gender violence, to artistically express themselves and their views.  We encourage you to join us on this journey to gender equality, which aims to use art to uncover the multiple forms the patriarchal system uses to oppress women.

OPEN CALL: Birmingham Children’s Hospital Outpatients Artwork

This is a paid opportunity for an artist to work with the Enjoy Arts Team and the busy outpatient department at Birmingham Children’s Hospital. This commission is funded by Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity.

The chosen artist will facilitate workshops (schedule to be negotiated) in the outpatient waiting room to co-design a piece with young people, to be installed onto a corridor wall. The outcome will most likely be a high-quality digital file which we can print onto wall vinyl, but we are open to other suggestions such as framed pieces or graffiti/mural style.
