The Alexandra House Silent Witness Exhibit honors those in Anoka County who lost their lives to
domestic violence. Each red silhouette represents a real person whose life was taken by an intimate
partner. The exhibit currently includes 27 silhouettes representing 29 individuals. With the permission of their families, each figure bears a plaque sharing the person’s name, age, how they were murdered, and what legal action was taken against the perpetrator. Together, these silhouettes transform statistics into lives remembered, making the reality of domestic violence impossible to ignore. Our entire exhibit gets displayed each September at our annual domestic violence awareness event, HopeFest. We also lend our silhouettes to local organizations and groups to display in their communities for a small rental fee, which helps cover the costs of maintaining the silhouettes and their protective coverings. The exhibit mostly travels within Anoka County, Minnesota, and sometimes travels to the seven-county Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area.
