The Dolls Speaks Exhibition consisted of a vast display of dolls handcrafted by Ms Francoise Bosteels, an artist and doll-maker, who narrated stories by mimicking societal problems prevalent in villages; domestic violence and compromised education and widespread poverty. They ‘speak’ to their audience, thus addressing the resistance in society while also reinforcing the beauty of life. During the course of this Exhibition, our young members were asked to scout around the display and look for the dolls that caught their eyes post which they narrated incidents in relation to the dolls; why they picked them up and what the dolls ‘spoke’ to them about.
