Add your voice to the photo mosaic
What is your story of solidarity or resilience?
The Speak Your Truth Initiative is a participatory social arts initiative that provides a creative voice for all those who want to speak out against gender-based violence. By filling in our photo mosaic with pictures and words of solidarity, we will create a work of art together that can be shared worldwide and that is a testament to resilience and a demand for justice.
How To Use The Mosaic
Speak Your Truth
Respond to our prompts and upload YOUR photograph, video, art, or text to the photomosaic. Hundreds of Traveling Postcards™ that have been handmade in our workshops will also be uploaded. Instructions for making your own postcards are available on our website.
Explore Your Truth
The photomosaic is searchable for keywords; names, location, language and artwork that inspire healing, education and empowerment. Click on a tag or type a word into the search box and see what you can discover.
Amplify Your Truth
You can share images and media from the mosaic through the chatter feed on social media, send notes and connect with other participants. Sharing voices calling for change empowers everyone.
Featured Stories
Each month our Feature Stories section in the mosaic will relate to a specific gender-based violence issue- from campus sexual assault to domestic violence, we want to hear your stories of solidarity and resilience.
Watching this short tutorial is a great way to familiarize yourself with the mosaic!
Your privacy is very important to us. You may remain completely anonymous and still participate with the mosaic.
What would the world be like without gender- based violence?
What is your story of solidarity or resilience?
These questions are asked in the context of providing both a voice for a survivor and a gift of wisdom for anyone. When asked to share your voice in this way, it amplifies strength not victimization.
Watch as our mosaic fills in! Like a puzzle, every shared piece of content will make up and fill in our large central image, underscoring that a single voice contributes to the whole.
Our year long, online exhibition will be archived and culminate with a live event exhibiting YOUR postcards, photographs and stories of resilience.
Together, we will ignite the global community with stories of resilience in the face of gender-based violence and provide a tool for positive change.
