Can art bring about change? Can it impart empathy? These questions are animating forces in the work of Birmingham-based artist Jaskirt Dahliwal-Boora. In the summer of 2023, she had the chance to put them to the test when she embarked upon her collaborative project A Place Called Home with four young women, Kiera, Tiegan, Sienna, and Codie. The work takes on the effects of gender-based violence, generational trauma, and the role of and relationship to the police within these grave issues.
