Photo Fringe joins other regional partners and collaborators in a new project produced and led by Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora, ‘Fractured Landscapes and How We Heal’.

The project examines the impact of violence against women and girls and how we heal from trauma. Jaskirt and four other commissioned artists will be working with women in refuge in four towns & cities across England.

The project will culminate in an exhibition of sound, image and text led by Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora in collaboration with all four artists and participants at The New Art Gallery Walsall in Spring 2026.

Project artists and regional partners:

– Katy Sadler and Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora, working with Birmingham & Solihull Women’s Aid
– Audrey Albert and Open Eye Gallery, working with Chrysalis Centre in Liverpool
– Lynda Laird and Peter Marlow Foundation, working with Oasis in Gravesend and Dungeness
