Through the sharing of their experiences, many survivors are finally able to find the release they seek and the freedom theyÍve lost -- on their own terms. Art also offers a means for discussing difficult and taboo topics in marginalized communities and where silence is pervasive. With the option of anonymity art allows individuals to break silence without becoming stigmatized by their community.</p> <p><em>Art Can Be Empowering for Communities</em><br /> Since art has the ability to engage and give voice to those people who otherwise would not have been involved, it can enrich the collective dialogue. Through SAAPM collaborative arts projects and group exhibitions, both on a large scale and through mini installations, art can articulate powerful messages of impact and accountability: <em>sexual violence not only impacts individuals, but hurts the community as a whole</em>. It can help shift the focus from the individual to the collective responsibility for creating safe communities and working environments.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-associated-links field--type-link field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Associated Links</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://www.arte-sana.com/products/saapm_2011.pdf" target="_blank">Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) Toolkit 2011: Community E…</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-material-categories field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Material Categories</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/community-organizing-mobilization-engagement" hreflang="und">Community Organizing / Mobilization / Engagement</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/raising-awareness" hreflang="und">Raising Awareness</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/materials/prevention-programming" hreflang="und">Prevention Programming</a></div> </div> </div> Tue, 16 Sep 2014 21:24:20 +0000 Anonymous 5576 at https://vawnet.org
