CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (this is where you come in)

Break the Silence is looking for submissions that address the themes of the silence around sexual abuse, reasons people stay silent, and experiences of breaking that silence.

All visual and literary arts as well as other forms of creative expression are welcomed. This includes, but is not limited to:

~photography, painting, collage, drawing, watercolor, mixed media, digital works

~audio and video works - possibilities include music, spoken word, video pieces

You do NOT have to be a professional artist/writer/musician/whatever to participate in this. You simply need to have something to say on the subject of sexual violence and find the way to say it that best suits you.
