Community Zine and Art Launch Event
Transforming Pain into purpose
Event Overview
Join the Memory Palace Movement in supporting survivors to heal and elevate their stories. Funded in part by the California Arts Council, this movement co-creates healing spaces with, for, and by survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Recognizing the significance of elevating survivor narratives for individual and communal healing, we offer a transformative event centered around art, advocacy, and resilience.
In our vision, we see a world where the trauma from sexual violence is met not with silence, but with a robust support system that is holistic, expansive, and culturally and community responsive. Through practices of self-love, radical healing, and genuine community care, we illuminate pathways to hope, joy, and interconnected power. By centering our stories and emboldening our collective voice, we cultivate the conditions where sexual abuse and sexual assault can be confronted and ultimately eradicated from our communities. We invite you to join us on our mission.
