Description The Butterfly Foundation works with male and female survivors towards raising awareness of domestic abuse. The Foundation encourages members to access their creativity and express their emotions and experiences through visual arts and drama. The members are committed to breaking the ‘taboo’ surrounding domestic abuse and have attended self-esteem workshops to aid their recovery. Photography, poetry, painting, installations and film have all played a vital role in portraying their journey. The Butterfly Foundation enjoys finding challenging ‘spaces’ in the local community to have their ‘voice’ heard, as was demonstrated in the Street Performance of “No Rights” as part of Boscombe Arts Festival in July 05.
