More Than a Portrait
AFG by Tallulah launches a portrait campaign that places survivors’ voices, creativity, and access to support at the heart of the conversation
Art has long been a way of expressing what words alone cannot. For survivors of sexual violence, telling their story can be a way of reclaiming voice, identity and control - but only when, and how, they choose.
That principle sits at the heart of a new campaign from AFG by Tallulah, bringing together portraiture, storytelling and fundraising to create space for survivors to be seen, heard and supported.
Each participant is invited to collaborate in the creation of a painted portrait while sharing as much or as little of their experience as they choose. By placing survivors at the centre of the creative process, the campaign seeks to move away from narratives that reduce people to what happened to them.
Instead, the portraits reflect the whole person: their identity, strength, individuality and life beyond trauma.
The campaign also has a practical purpose. Funds raised through the project will help provide access to specialist aftercare for survivors of sexual violence.
Long-term support can be vital, yet it is not always easy to access. Through each portrait, the campaign aims not only to raise awareness, but to contribute directly to support for those navigating life after sexual violence.
Tallulah Weaver, founder of AFG by Tallulah, said:
“Too often, survivors are spoken about rather than listened to. This campaign is about creating a space where people can share their stories on their own terms, through art that reflects both their experiences and their strength.
I hope these portraits encourage meaningful conversations, challenge misconceptions and help raise funds so more survivors can access the support they deserve.”
AFG by Tallulah believes art can create empathy, open conversations and inspire action. By combining portraiture with fundraising, the campaign seeks to transform individual stories into a wider movement built on awareness, compassion and tangible support.
At M.Y.H, we believe creativity can be a powerful form of advocacy. Art can create space for people to reclaim their stories, challenge silence and be represented on their own terms.
This campaign is a reminder that awareness and action do not have to exist separately. A portrait can tell a story, begin a conversation and help someone else access the support they need. Because being seen should also mean being listened to.
