A house is often imagined as a place of safety, warmth, and belonging. But for many women, it can also be a site of tension, expectation, and survival.
In this exhibition, the artists turn to the idea of home as a symbolic frame through which the realities of domestic violence unfold as experiences that continue to shape lives. These works are traces of what remains, what lingers, and what is still being lived, rather than declarations of healing or stories wrapped with neat endings.
The artists present this collection, mostly drawn from their own experiences, not to resolve or explain, but to show their reality for what it is: the fragile, the resilient, and the ways the past continues to press into the everyday in quiet, lasting ways.
The title “You’re Welcome” is etched like a scar, a polite courtesy masking the discomfort underneath. The works gathered here do not promise closure. Instead, they remind us that domestic violence is a lived reality, carried in memory long after leaving, and soberingly still borne quietly within homes that were meant to be safe.
