Demand To Be Heard
What is Demand to be Heard?
Demand to Be Heard is a virtual and pop-up gallery space, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices and stories of survivors through art, creativity, and personal expression. Survivors share their experiences, reclaim their narratives, and ignite conversations that challenge societal norms, and through this, these artists not only build camaraderie and share their work with the world, but also inspire change. The platform is open to all mediums including, but not limited to visual art, poetry, music, dance, and more.
A catalyst for self-discovery and personal growth, Demand to be Heard invites survivors shatter the barriers of stigma, cultivate empathy, understanding, and support among a wider community. This platform raises awareness about the impact of trauma, challenges societal misconceptions, and fosters a culture of healing and resilience.
We encourage survivors from all backgrounds and experiences to embrace their creativity and participate in this transformative initiative. By sharing their art and stories, survivors not only empower themselves but also inspire others who may be on their own healing journey.
Join us in celebrating the strength, creativity, and resilience of survivors as they demand to be heard. Together, we can build a world where survivors' voices are valued, validated, and amplified.
Our stories demand to be heard.
The vast majority of sexual assault and domestic violence cases go unreported and unheard due to fear of the abuser and of the public’s reaction.
Today, that ends.
Leah, the founder of The Sunflower Project, shared her story through her film “Untold”, other survivors have shared their work, as part of Demand to be Hears — and now it’s your turn.
Share your story with us in any way you feel comfortable: be it a written story, a video, a song, a painting, a picture, a play... we’re open to your creativity in ANY form.
We will protect your identity and respect your wishes, always. And your work will always be your work. Our intention is to create a shared (virtual + occasionally in person!) space where survivors can make their story and their art public.
