How do we end violence and heal ourselves? See for yourself in Movement to Power, a short film by Shruti Parekh capturing the free SAWCC six-week creative arts workshop series for healing. We brought together Asian American survivors of gender and sexual violence, gender justice advocates, and community members invested in ending violence to move, express, heal, and transform our relationship to violence -- and ourselves.
With time, care, and attention, we and the world can change. This short film documents practices, strategies, and tools for increasing self-love, choicefulness, strength, and growth as explored by workshop participants with facilitators Purvi Shah, Parul Shah, Deesha Narichania.
We hope you and others will develop future creative arts workshops for women of color working towards self-healing, self-empowerment, and ending violence.
