The Connect for Life Photography Exhibition showcases the powerful work of nine artists who bring lived experience of suicide to their creative expression.
Each artist participated in an eight-week peer support and therapeutic photography program, creating a safe and supportive environment where participants connected, shared their stories and developed new skills in creative expression.
This exhibition forms parts of a broader suicide prevention and awareness campaign which centres the insights and wisdom of those with lived experience. Its goal is to challenge myths and transform harmful narratives which surround suicide in our society.
