Breaking silence / bearing witness/ claiming dignity

In fall 2010, I created a site-specific installation, breaking silences / bearing witness / claiming dignity, at Voices Breaking Boundaries Living Room Art show, Women's Voices.

Using protest images from women’s marches and protests in Karachi and Houston (offered to me by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast), I created a wall that also contained live testimonies offered by Houston women.

Voices Breaking Boundaries' original office was in [Sarwar’s] kitchen, but later she set up shop in a tiny donated space. If she stood up, she knocked her head. But she didn't spend much time in the office anyway. Wherever she went, she found a community partners. “Crossing borders with art.”
