The ‘Home Sweet Home’ exhibition at the Public Building, West Bromwich included visual and written messages, narratives and illustrations presented on items of clothing, which were pegged on a washing line against a fictitious garden backdrop. The artwork was accompanied by audio of males that live and work in the borough taking a stand against domestic abuse.
