For the fifth exhibition, Victorious Voices partnered with Viv Gordon Company to bring the work into a pop-up cultural space in Gloucester, placing survivor testimony and portraiture within a live, local setting built for community encounter and cultural exchange.

Installed in a temporary public-facing venue, the exhibition presented black-and-white portraits alongside first-person testimonies from survivors of childhood sexual abuse. The work remained grounded in the project’s core principles: dignity, consent, and survivor control, inviting visitors to witness lived experience without sensationalism, and to recognise the long arc of trauma and healing that so often goes unnamed.

This collaboration with Viv Gordon Company was significant not only for the location, but for what the space represented: a cultural environment where difficult truth can be held collectively.

In Gloucester, Victorious Voices extended beyond institutions and gallery conventions, meeting people where they are and widening the conversation in a city context, making room for reflection, dialogue, and recognition.

Together, Victorious Voices and Viv Gordon Company demonstrated what this project continues to prove: when survivor voices are given serious cultural space, communities do not collapse under the truth: they grow in their ability to face it.
