In this workshop, which will be conducted by visual artist Sevgi Can Sargın, we will turn the “silent screams” of women, which are unspoken, suppressed, into visual elements and forms, and shout out loud. Participants will apply the compositions they have created using their own cut out forms or ready-made stencils to tote bags with the silk screen technique.

Silent Scream – The Blanket in Blame Activity

The Turkish Women’s Association was founded on 08.03.1975 as the first migrant women’s organisation in Germany with the aim of “helping women to help themselves” and has been advocating for women’s interests ever since. Today, members of the association will conduct the activity “The Blanketed in Blame”, which provides an important opportunity to explore how social norms and discrimination affect the ability of survivors of violence to seek help and access care. It also encourages participants to reflect on what they can do to empathise with survivors of violence.
