Art as Healing: Voices Against Violence, an exhibition at St Paul’s Cathedral’s Transept Gallery from May to June 2026

This exhibition is a collaboration between the PVAW Program, Holstep Health’s Living Well Family Violence group, and St Margaret’s Church in Eltham.

“Encouraging

Families

through Faith

In Action”

It brings together artists from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences, each of whom has been affected by family violence—many as survivors.

Through their work, the artists explore themes of transformation, renewal, and healing, conveying a powerful message of hope: that despite the impacts of violence, the resilience, strength, and faith of women and children endure.

It is on display now until the end of June. Kerryn and PVAW invite Mothers Union members to come along support and enjoy this event. This is our opportunity to “lift the face’ of MU and be visible.
