Topic: Art | Knowledge Level: All levels
Your story matters. Your voice matters. Your experience matters. Your autonomy matters. I Want You to See Me is a creative, collaborative piece with the intention of shining a light on the stories and experiences that are often ignored, forgotten, or distorted and amplifies the voices of those who have been silenced. This narrative performance removes the layers of lenses that are often used to fuel disconnection and drive false narratives in order to truly highlight human dignity. I Want You to See Me invites the audience to acknowledge the personal and societal barriers that prevent us from truly seeing one another and facilitates participants to obtain a deeper level of understanding and connection across communities. I Want You to See Me gives platform to individuals who have been oppressed, marginalized, or exploited and gives them the reigns on how they want to be seen, heard, understood, and remembered.
Performance Objectives:
· Provide attendees with education and awareness regarding oppression, trauma, and exploitation
· Provide hands on materials regarding advocacy, mental health, and recovery
