2006 Art and Change Grant – $2,495

Qaadira will facilitate a pilot 11-week arts workshop, the Sankofa Circle, in Philadelphia for adult mothers who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. This project was created out of her own journey as a woman of color healing from childhood incest and her growing sense of the impact of this cyclical pattern of intergenerational sexual abuse on her family. Qaadira is creating this workshop to help others realize the healing aspect of art and how it can be used to nurture and empower themselves. Based on this pilot project, she will develop a curriculum to share with others interested in starting up similar Sankofa Circles elsewhere.
