Breaking Free from Domestic Violence: An Exhibition that Encourages Awareness

With the traveling exhibition Breaking Free from Domestic Violence, the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor and Social Affairs brings a thought-provoking artistic experience to Traunstein. In the historic space of the Klosterkirche, the exhibition invites contemplation and aesthetic experience – with the goal of making the often-hidden reality of domestic violence visible and informing about support services.

Spatial Impact and Curatorial Idea

The exhibition unfolds in modular wall elements, whose clear design language, typographic accents, and strategically used light create a focused exhibition atmosphere. The curation leads through the thematic areas of violence against women and men, as well as violence against children and adolescents. Didactic panels, quotes, and infographics structure the contemplation of the works and connect insights from social sciences, prevention, and counseling.

A Peek Behind the Curtain: The Impulse Module

The Impulse Module is particularly impressive: Behind a heavy curtain, sounds disturb and engage the senses. Those who lift the curtain are rewarded with supplementary materials – a powerful moment of sensory perception that marks the transition from turning away to looking closer.

Art Historical Vocabulary for a Societal Topic

Even though it is a documentary-informative exhibition, it works with artistic means of installation, with sequencing in space and dramatic accents. The curatorial choreography focuses on clear sight lines, rhythmically arranged color fields, and the didactic logic of a thematic series. Thus, a dense narrative emerges that connects forms, contents, and social responsibility.

Education, Prevention, Support

Accompanying texts explain the dynamics of domestic violence, reference nationwide and Bavarian hotlines as well as local counseling centers. For professionals, relatives, and interested parties, the exhibition becomes a low-threshold forum for cultural education – with connections to practice: paths to help, networks, preventive work.
