Awakenings provides survivors of sexual violence with a trauma-informed, inclusive art-making experience that encourages healing.We believe the power of art-making as healing is amplified when we integrate into a creative community. We help survivors of sexual violence heal through art by providing year-round art workshops, storytelling events, and more at our studio space in the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago. Our programming allows survivors to connect with each other through communal, healing arts activities in a safe, trauma-informed environment.

Awakenings Art

A creative exploratory workshop using redaction of text and guided movement to set intentions for taking care of ourselves.

Trauma has lasting effects that can impact us at varying stages in our lives. When living in a current world full of stress, isolation, and uncertainty, past traumas may try to take ownership of our minds or bodies to influence our experience of the present moment. In this creative exploratory workshop, we will bridge the gap between past and present, identifying and redefining patterns. Through the use of Erasure, a redaction of text, and guided movement reflections, we will examine new meanings and insights. We will set intentions for taking care of ourselves in our current experiences.Please bring 1 to 2 pieces of text. Ideally this text will be handwritten from your daily life before going into quarantine (such as a grocery list, to do list, copy of a journal entry).Please wear something you feel comfortable in. *If you would like to attend &amp; participate in the workshop, please select the $15 "I want to participate" ticket option. If you would like to support others' participation, you can select any of the donation amounts below
