“What it takes to survive
is more than an emergency
blanket, a fire starter, and a
hatchet. It requires recognizing yourself,
after someone has tried to
blur your divine image.”
from “Survivor/ship” in “spilling the light” by Theresa I. Soto
At HopeWorks, we use the arts in three important ways; to support survivors in their healing; as a vehicle to increase awareness; and to imagine creative solutions to bring about social change.
The creative arts help people to improve and enhance physical, mental and emotional well being. When we create art and reflect on it, the processes increase self-awareness, initiate awareness of others, and help us cope with stress and traumatic experiences. Creative expression facilitates ending or finding solutions to conflicts and problems.
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change.”

And in order for us to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness.” —Audre Lorde
