Shame Ends Here Sunday 1 February 2026 2-8pm York City Screen Basement Bar, 13-17 Coney Street
An interdisciplinary art show that conveys the stories behind the statistics. By breaking the silence around the taboo topic of sexual abuse, this project aims to prompt conversations and encourage greater openness to support healing, and prevention.
A single-day exhibition with multiple components including:
A large map recording 1,436 reported acts of sexual violence over 1 year in North Yorkshire.
A handmade Book of Testimonies with personal accounts submitted from around the world displayed with text related art.
A short evocative film, with spoken testimonies and map stamping imagery. A booklet of stark statistics interwoven with personal statements, to take away.
The event marks the 35th anniversary of York-based charity Survive - North Yorkshire’s specialist support service for adult survivors of sexual violence and abuse.
Trigger Warning - We remind people that the Shame Ends Here art project contains reference to sexual violence, including survivor testimonies. It may be distressing or triggering to some visitors so people should take care while reading. Support information will be available at the exhibition.
