SAPAC's SEAS (Survivor Empowerment and Ally Support) Program is now accepting submissions for its 17th annual art show, rEVOLUTION: Healing Through the Arts.
We are calling on all UM-affiliated artists (student, faculty, & staff) to submit art to be displayed on our multi-media art show in the coming weeks. Art of any medium is welcome, including, but not limited to: painting, dancing, drawing, photography, sculpture, spoken word, and poetry.
The themes of our show, as always, are sexual violence, empowerment, healing, gender, and sexism. The topic of sexual violence can include sexual assault, intimate partner violence, sexual and gender-based harassment, and stalking.
Healing is a process that works in different ways for different people. Creating and displaying art can prove very helpful as a way to promote healing. Artistic expression provides a medium to bring up and process emotions and experiences in a way that can be difficult to discuss otherwise. Now more than ever we hope to provide a platform and resource that brings people together in healing.
Our goal with this event is to create and engage in a supportive community space for survivors where UM student allies and survivors will build empathy and an understanding of sexual violence and healing through the unique creative expression of survivor experiences and perspectives.
Please e-mail submissions and questions to [email protected] and fill out the form below. If your work is accepted by the launch it will be displayed at the Rackham Graduate School in the Assembly Hall on the evening of April 3rd.
Deadline: Sunday, March 27th
