Helen Grace and Julie Ewington in The New Media and Project Lab
Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, NSW
Justice for Violet and Bruce’ focuses on the historical domestic murder court case which took place in Sydney in 1980. A perceived miscarriage of justice for these victims of domestic abuse led to a community campaign which resulted in legislative change to allow the admissibility of ‘provocation’ in criminal sentencing. Campaign photographs taken by photographer Helen Grace will be shown for the first time alongside street posters and a campaign banner on loan from the National Museum of Australia. As a regional cultural institution, Wagga Wagga Art Gallery is proud to present this exhibition. It provides the opportunity to lead important community discussion and debate concerning domestic violence.
Curated by Julie Ewington.
