APS Bank has launched an exhibition of works from art therapy sessions held for survivors of domestic violence, which was inaugurated by President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca.

The initiative is the result of a partnership with St Jeanne Antide Foundation which, through the APS Sustainability Programme, is raising more awareness of the issue. 

The exhibition is themed Umama, which means mother in Zulu. 

It is also supported by Arts Council Malta and the President’s Award for Creativity. To lend further meaning to the initiative, the exhibition was launched on Women’s Day.

During the opening ceremony, APS Bank chairman Frederick Mifsud Bonnici said it was clear that the art therapy sessions were successful in displaying the deep-rooted emotions. 

The exhibition will stay open until April 12 at the APS Centre in Birkirkara. Visiting hours are from Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 3.30pm, and on Saturdays from 8.30am to noon.
