Look at me!
“Look at me! Hear me! See me!” No one wants to shout to be heard. We have stories to tell, signs to be seen. We don’t need others speaking over us, for so many voices have been filtered and silenced. For those too afraid to speak up and for those who can’t: shout! Our exhibition amplifies the voices of the quiet. Let us show the love, hate, and sorrow that bring the forgotten together. Leave no individual soul out. To see or not to see, to be seen or to stay invisible. What is it that YOU are so desperate to reveal about yourself?
