SUMMARY:Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: Williamson Art Gallery & Museum: B
 eauty in the Broken
DESCRIPTION:Kintsugi is the technique of repairing a broken object using a
 ncient Japanese reparation\, known as the art of precious scars. Not simpl
 y a form of repair\, Kintsugi is a philosophy\; a constant reminder to f
 ind the strength and beauty in the broken and painful parts of ourselves. 
 Abuse in any form can shatter our sense of self and can leave victims feel
 ing broken and alone\, but support services are integral to aiding the jou
 rney of recovery\, and rebuilding a sense of self-worth and healing.\n\nTo
  mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women 
 and Girls (25th November)\, support services across Wirral have collaborat
 ed to produce Beauty in the Broken adopting the Kintsugi reparation tech
 nique as a visual representation. The exhibition will be touring venues ar
 ound Merseyside before arriving at the Williamson.\n\nWomen within each se
 rvice were asked to take a broken bowl and glue them back together using t
 he kintsugi technique\, the cracks in the bowls representing painful life 
 experiences of women with lived experience of domestic abuse\, and the art
 istic expressions through decorations and glue symbolising the resilience\
 , healing process\, and the crucial services who support women to rebuild 
 their lives.\n\nBeauty In The Broken is designed to serve as a discussion
  point centred around gender-based violence\, so please take the opportuni
 ty to digest the piece and reflect on the lived experience of victim-survi
 vors who suffer at the hands of abuse and violence.\n\nSpecial thanks to a
 ll the Women who have been involved including all services and support sta
 ff.\n\nInformation on Support Services
