| Rotating exhibition: | ARK / Conflict Textiles |
| Description: | “ARK /Conflict Textiles" marks the third installation in the rotating exhibition which commenced in June 2023; a collaboration between Conflict Textiles collection, ARK and the McClay Library at Queen's University Belfast.
This five-piece installation marks International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women (25th November) and is part of the UN's UNiTE campaign. The commemoration lasts 16 days, concluding on International Human Rights Day (10th December).
The themes depicted through these textiles, connect to ARK's annual public attitudes surveys and their focus on making information accessible, supporting civic society and challenging policies. In particular, the Northern Ireland Life & Times (NILT) and Young Life & Times (YLT) surveys have recorded public attitudes to gender-based violence.
You can access ARK research related to attitudes to and experiences of gender based violence in the research updates and short film below.
