  1. “Physical Evidence Museum” is an documentary exhibition in an ordinary apartment made of everyday objects that have been collected with the help of many women who have experienced domestic violence in relationships or childhood. All the objects on display are witnesses of violence, but yet they would never be accepted as credible evidence in court or police.  

    Museum has been exhibited in Riga, Tallinn, Warsaw, Switzerland and in each place it has been re-created in a private flat with local items and stories, with participation of local women and local artistic team.
