Following its powerful and widely discussed university debut, the second Victorious Voices exhibition was hosted at 92 Degrees coffee shop, where it remained on display for three months in a busy public space in the heart of Manchester.

This exhibition continued to centre survivor testimonies and black-and-white portraits that speak to strength, dignity, and the long road of healing after childhood sexual abuse. Installed in a high-traffic environment, the work was viewed by thousands of people from all walks of life, sparking quiet reflection, meaningful conversations, and a shared respect for the courage behind each image.

In contrast to earlier controversy, the exhibition at 92 Degrees ran its full course without a single complaint, a powerful testament to the public’s capacity to hold space for truth when it is presented with care, clarity, and honesty.

Survivors were not hidden. They were seen, and they were met with empathy, not discomfort

Victorious Voices at 92 Degrees proved what this project has always stood for: when survivors lead, the community listens.
