2012 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

  • Neighborhood: Mount Airy
  • Change Partner: Women Against Abuse
  • Discipline: Literary Arts
  • Social Change / Intent: Feminism

August is organizing The Superheroes Project, an arts-based workshop for women who have experienced domestic violence and/or sexual assault. The intent of the workshop is to counter the “victim” narrative and to make an interaction in the cycle of violence. The women will be offered opportunities to be empowered by participating as artists in their communities so they will have a more vital stake in how they are represented to the larger culture. Participants will, through a series of writing prompts and exercises, create their superhero character and tell their story. In the final sessions, a graphic artist will visit the workshop and meet individually with each woman in order to storyboard her character and partner with her to illustrate her story.
