Faces of Violence

Faces of Violence is a collective project on violence against women, including physical abuse and the less visible forms of pressure and control. Commissioned by Compagnie Barbiana and Braseap Cap Info and developed in Belgium with women from different backgrounds, it began with portraits, video and testimonies, and later expanded to include poetry, music and debate.
