Face It

There is nothing more relevant today than Baldwin’s 60-year-old call to face our society’s reality. Efforts to stop us from facing injustice include a surge in book bannings, new laws to criminalize teaching the truth about America’s racism, sexism and misogyny, and other performances aimed at making us forget everything that urgently needs changing. 

Violence Transformed’s overall desire is to document and celebrate the transformative power of art and the ways in which art, artists and art-making can foster and inspire new ways of seeing the past, present and future clearly, as well as renewed paths to resistance, resilience, healing and recovery.  We hope to attract artists from diverse communities throughout the country and from the various Boston neighborhoods.
