한풀이: Liberating Herstories

Over the years we have noticed that a number of our visitors have documented their experience of visiting the House of Sharing through such mediums as photography, painting, poetry, essays, stories and music to reflect their emotions and their respect for the survivors. The gravity of the survivors’ experiences as well as their continued fight for justice are not often easy to capture and respond to in simple words. We believe that art, in all its myriad forms, can provide multiple channels through which to express not only the personal narratives of the survivors and emotional responses of those hearing these, but also form expressions of protest against these horrific crimes. We hope that art can be a vehicle that will inform and educate as well as stimulate people into taking action in support of this cause.

If you would like to show your support for the House of Sharing, please join us Dec. 10-16 at Cafe Anthracite for an art exhibition, featuring works made by the halmonis themselves as well as by artists from around the world.
