With Open Eyes: The exhibition Domestic Violence GET RID OF IT raises awareness, informs, and moves
At the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein, the traveling exhibition Domestic Violence GET RID OF IT opens an intense space for artistic experience, artwork observation, and aesthetic experience surrounding a topic that often remains hidden. Developed by the Bavarian State Ministry for Family, Labor, and Social Affairs in collaboration with partners from the professional field, the presentation invites viewers to look closer and makes dynamics, manifestations, and support paths visible.
Atmosphere of Confrontation: Colors, Forms, Sound
Six large-format wall modules structure the tour: typography, image surfaces, and infographics lead from physical and psychological violence to sexualized violence. An impulse module behind a curtain reacts with irritating noises to proximity and sharpens the perception of what is otherwise overlooked. The exhibition thus unfolds a concentrated exhibition atmosphere in which light, material, and spatial effects support the thematic depth.
Art Historically Considered, Socially Anchored
Even if it is not about painting or sculpture in the classical sense, the curation follows museum standards: clearly structured thematic spaces, precise didactics, and reliable sources. Thematic segments highlight violence against women and men, as well as violence against children and adolescents, locate causes and patterns, and connect them with concrete support offerings. Thus, a public learning place is created that combines cultural education with social responsibility.
Content Analysis of Works: Modules that Provide Orientation
The design areas combine research, counseling practice, and prevention knowledge. A panel makes hotlines and help finders easily accessible; another explains the program Bavaria Against Violence. Closing modules encourage setting boundaries and seeking help. In the observation of works, it becomes clear: The display design works with serial repetition, accentuated color contrasts, and tactile stimuli to anchor memory.
Educational Offers and Accessibility
The exhibition is shown throughout Bavaria in administrations, educational institutions, and cultural venues; in many places, guided tours, discussions, and counseling booths complement the program. The Cultural Forum Klosterkirche, as a barrier-free event venue with a lift and modern infrastructure, creates a quiet framework for concentrated encounters and in-depth conversations.
