Had a fascinating evening on Monday - #internationaldayforeliminationofviolenceagainstwomen @richardsaltoungallery to see @wilmaworks being interviewed by @hettiejudah about her current work ‘Temple of Safety’.
Based on The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, #templeofsafety lays out 16 articles that ‘define a person’s rights within a relationship’. Woolf has worked with experts in the field of domestic abuse, police detectives specialising in abuse, victims of domestic abuse and charities that work in this area.
Her work ‘Domestic’, (@mafineartcsm 2020), an installation of 8 plates - 1 per year from 2012, that showed the number of women killed during that year, what relation to the killer and how they were killed, This is the first time data on the taking of women’s lives by men they know had been gathered together. Since then ‘Domestic’ has been shown at The Houses of Parliament t, discussed with policy makers who, under the LabourGovernment, have designed policies relations specifically to this subject for the first time in 20 years.
#templeofsafety is currently on billboards and advertising vans each with one of the articles.
Wilma Woolf will be working on the project for the foreseeable future through discussions and making objects aligned with each article. She would like access for the charter to be available to all. Her aim was to produce something that would be clear, rational and fair and impossible, embarrassing for anyone to call unreasonable.
The artist is brave (given the vile threats received by women who are campaigning for women now) and brilliant. There is another talk on Saturday and it is really worth going along too.
