RISE: Reach into Self-Expression represents work completed in a collaborative participatory arts-based project between Community-Based Research Centre and Health Initiative for Men that explored 2S/LGBTQIA+ people's definitions of gender-based violence (GBV) and their experiences navigating systems of support in the Fraser Health Region.
This zine was created in collaboration with our research team and members of our community advisory committee and was released at our end-of-project exhibit hosted in Vancouver in March 2026. This booklet shares artwork and reflections by 2S/LGBTQIA+ survivors of GBV created through workshops and interviews that took place between August - December 2025.
