So, I have decided that I want to help people who had been silenced to be able to have a voice. The theme of silence that we learned about in Somaly Mam's book really inspired me to create a way for people who have been sexually abused to have the voice that they have always had and deserved. I am really excited to be a part of something like this. I have already received a decent amount of feedback about making submissions and it is so exciting. I am working on contacting some contemporary art museums to see if they would be willing to spread the word to a bigger audience. I am hoping to expand this project to more than just Fredonia. I really hope that word gets out and I receive a great amount of submissions by February 28, 2013. I am planning for the exhibition to be sometime at the middle or end of next semester. Spread the word and keep an eye out on more details and information!!
