And of course it is all to raise funds for West CASA Melbourne!

‘WestCASA is a community based not-for-profit sexual assault counselling service operating in the western metropolitan region of Melbourne for the past 24 years. WestCASA moved to its beautiful Edwardian home at 53 Ballarat Road in March 1989.WestCASA aims to both facilitate the recovery and healing of victim/survivors of sexual assault and work toward the elimination of sexual violence in society. The service vision is for a world where everyone lives free from the fear of sexual violence.’

‘Melbourne’s very own home to celebrate the rise and recognition for the both the talented and fearless Women in Horror. OZ style!’

‘Women in Horror Recognition Month (WiHM) assists female genre artists in gaining opportunities, exposure, and education through altruistic events. The vision is a world wherein all individuals are equally given the opportunity to create, share, and exploit their concept of life, pain, and freedom of expression. Women in Horror Melbourne is celebrating its fourth year at Northcote’s artistic hub 303.’

Thanks to the awesome women Sim Sim, Sally Christie and Caitlin Koller for talking about their art and vision for a more inclusive and equal horror community!
