Corazón Lastimado: Healing the Wounded Heart

Corazón Lastimado: Sanando el Corazón Herido es una exhibición de arte de sobrevivientes que comenzó en Marzo del 2001 en Texas por Arte Sana, una organización en contra de la violencia sexual, en colaboración con La Peña, una organización exploradora de arte. El proyecto busca destacar las voces de sobrevivientes Latinx en un esfuerzo de sacar a la luz aquellas experiencias que han quedado en gran parte fuera de las conversaciones sobre este tema. La carta “x” en la palabra “Latinx” se refiere a la inclusión de género/sexo.

  • Corazón Lastimado: Healing the Wounded Heart is a survivor art exhibition that was started in March 2001 in Texas by Arte Sana, an anti-sexual violence organization, in collaboration with La Peña, an organization exploring art. The project seeks to highlight voices of Latinx survivors in an effort to bring light to those experiences which have been largely left out of the conversation. The letter “x” in Latinx is meant to be gender inclusive.

     

The Alliance adopted this art project in 2014. Since then, our member centers across the state have hosted creative workshops where the hearts get decorated. Over one-hundred hearts have been created in the Connecticut chapter alone. Hearts have also been decorated by concerned artists and allies of survivors.

Please contact Sheryan Cancel, our Latinx Services Coordinator, if you are a Latinx survivor of sexual assault and would like to get involved.
