Creative Voices

Empowering women through creative expression. Developing communities of trust, support and encouragement for those often ignored, searching for a chance to be heard and to promote change. Through workshops in photography, Creative Voices helps women transcend cultural and geographic boundaries by speaking the universal language of human emotions and showing their realities.

In fall 2010, I worked with a local women’s organization, Sol Naciente, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, which is dedicated to empowering women who have suffered from various abuses - living in the streets, drug addictions and domestic violence. For three weeks, I taught a group of eight women photography, from the basic techniques to the way that it can express what words cannot. The workshop was used as a tool of empowerment for the women, teaching them how to express themselves as individuals and as members of a group, thus creating a space of support and trust. This is their story.
