We were thrilled to capture Advance's 3 year strategy launch at the Institute of Contemprorary Arts in London last year. It's always great to see people come together with a collective focus. Especially for such a great goal of reducing violence against women and girls.

This is the second of the 'When We Share' poem animations. This animation acknowledges the ongoing challenges that the women face as they move through their life after sharing their trauma. They are sometimes tasked with undertaking the process of pressing criminal charges against their abuser. At the same time, they are trying to rebuild their lives in the community, wanting to be believed, wanting to be treated with respect and patience, and ultimately simply wanting people to listen to their voice.

This is the first of the 'When We Share' poem animations. It identifies the initial struggles and feelings that women face when they first declare their experience of abuse. It felt to me as if Daffodil would be relentlessly confronted by one situation after another. She would be forced to react to each and at times try to escape, and yet no matter what she did she would always find herself in yet another challenging space, having to face yet more judgement, and more stigmatism, whilst at the same time trying to find her way through a complex maze of emotions.

Tonight I'm talking at Juno WA Annual Celebration evening to launch and discuss an animation project funded by a grant from Arts Council England . We worked closely with a group of women to try and help viewers to understand what it's like to share their experience of domestic violence and abuse with someone. This is a teaser video with clips from the two animations created for the project.

Here's the NHS animation scene from my last post showing some behind the scenes set up. It's just a few seconds from the film that was a few minutes long but it takes a lot of planning, building, set up, shooting and editing for those precious seconds.
