Golden Seams: Restorative Storytelling for Change

Stories of Survival. Stories of Repair.
Voicing the Void presents Golden Seams - an evening of powerful live performance where lived experience and storytelling come alive on stage.

Inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi - repairing broken pottery with gold - Golden Seams honours both the cracks and the courage it takes to heal.

This moving performance shares the stories of women who have survived extraordinary challenges and found ways to rebuild, reclaim their voices and emerge stronger.

Healing is not about hiding the cracks, but acknowledging them - and finding new beauty in the process. Through the power of restorative storytelling, we create connection, depth and community.

Content Note
Golden Seams explores themes including coercive control, family court and parole processes, cancer, medical trauma, displacement, racism and experiences of injustice.

While the evening centres resilience, dignity and hope, some content may be emotionally challenging. We encourage audience members to consider their own wellbeing and to take space if needed. Support will be available on the night.
