The MoW is a globally accessible digital museum that archives and amplifies the voices of gender-based violence survivors, offering a space for collective healing and emotional justice. The Museum of Witnessing emerges from firsthand understanding of the gaps that remain around emotional justice for survivors. While many resources exist, bureaucratic systems often neglect the emotional component of healing from domestic violence, resulting in the birth of MoW, a platform where survivors’ stories are honored and seen, fostering solidarity and collective strength in the fight to end domestic and gender-based violence.
The Museum of Witnessing opens on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2026.
Our mission is to confront the historic silencing and invisibility of domestic, sexual, and gender-based violence within traditional archives and media. Through community-driven digital exhibitions, pop-up installations, and an evolving resource hub featuring free art-therapy workshops, survivor stories, and articles by artists and psychologists, the museum transforms silence into shared strength—creating a living archive of resilience, visibility, and collective witnessing.
Alongside curated rotating exhibitions, the Museum of Witnessing maintains a permanent, open-submission digital collection. Survivors and allied artists can submit work or documentation in any medium to be preserved in the Museum’s living archive.
