Transforming Pain into Power is an exhibition of works from local artists who are using their voices and creativity to speak out against gendered violence.

Art Space Ballarat is hosting artworks along with two other Ballarat locations, the Ballarat Library and Barkly Square.

The 16 Days of Activism is an annual international campaign emphasising that violence against women is a human rights violation.

In Ballarat, the City of Ballarat works closely with Women's Health Grampians, Grampians Health, Respect Victoria, WRISC and a range of other community groups and organisations to coordinate the annual campaign.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
