Our Story, Our Voices

The power of a narrative lives in who gets to tell it. For years, the history of societies has been recorded, shaped and filtered through a narrow lens, leaving the voices of many groups on the margins. When we work with people with different addictive behaviors, mental health and socio-economic problems and with people in prison, we have a chance to experience the breaking silence moment.

Sharing a painful personal experience is an important moment of genuine connection and solidarity because others facing the same struggle know they are not alone and their voices can be heard. And we build empathy.  Listening to a story told directly by the person who lived it bridges divides.

For those in recovery, it’s a journey where each one has the opportunity to access to their story, start an authentic self-discovery and find a new meaning for what was experienced. But the most important is to validate each story and respectfully heard each one voice.

The current Arts Showcase entitled “Our Story, Our Voices” is a collective exhibition, with the efforts and energy of more than 25 participants that created a series of meaningful pieces of art.

We invite everyone to appreciate each piece of art and imagine the story behind the shapes and the colors. And we hope, we can listen the voices of the strong silence of those who continue mute.
