HUSH – Breaking the Silence | Victim Support Scotland
HUSH is grounded in principles of choice and control and
as such the families were involved at every stage of its
production. Glasgow based artist and art psychotherapist
Ruth Switalski held a curation course for the families to
ensure they had creative direction over the exhibition
content and design.
Families were able to choose the ways in which they
could interpret this project. Aspiring rapper and talented
lyricist TJ chose to engage with the creative element of
HUSH through music. In 'Promise' TJ explores his own grief
and newfound responsibility after losing his mother to
murder. He worked with Steg G at Sunny Govan Radio to
produce and record the track, which will form part of our
multimedia exhibition.
Through HUSH, TJ, Claire, Julie, Rachel, Carla, and
Stewart share their personal experiences, views, and raw
emotions. We hope that in reading these stories you will
recognise the many challenges faced by families bereaved
by crime, and you too will ask – what can we do better?
