Gallerix x The Non-Violence Project - Face the Truth

Stockholm, Sweden – 2025-10-02

After the success of the first joint collection inspired by the iconic “Knotted Gun” sculpture, Gallerix and

The Non-Violence Project Foundation are proud to present the next chapter in the long-term collaboration:

“Face the Truth” – a bold and emotionally charged collection of black-and-white portrait photography.

This new collection goes beyond aesthetics. Each image captures a deeply human emotion – from quiet

strength and vulnerability, from resistance to hope, to joy and happiness. With stark, stripped-down visuals,

“Face the Truth” gives a voice to the unspoken and becomes a visual presence in spaces that often remain

silent. It is an invitation to reflect, to feel, and to start conversations about the realities we live in – and the

change we wish to see.

“Art should do more than decorate a wall – it should stir something inside you,” says Jimmy Håkansson,

CEO of Gallerix. “With ‘Face the Truth,’ we continue our commitment to creating art that moves people.

Each image is a tribute to the emotional strength of humanity and a reminder that non-violence begins with

empathy and awareness.”

As with the first launch, 20% of all sales from the ‘Face the Truth’ collection are donated directly to The

Non-Violence Project Foundation, supporting their global work to prevent violence through education and

creativity. The collaboration highlights the shared belief between Gallerix and the foundation: that visual

expression has the power to inspire peace.

“This collection takes our message into homes, workplaces, and hearts,” says Filippa Idsäter, Business &

Communication Coordinator at The Non-Violence Project Foundation. “It helps us reach people on a human

level – where art becomes a mirror of both reality and possibility. Together with Gallerix, we continue to

build a more peaceful world.”
