ABOUT US
We are a communitybased initiative that uses art as a tool to strengthen the emotional wellbeing, cultural identity, and social cohesion of Latina migrant women and families in California.
Through creative and collective practices, the project aims to provide safe and inclusive spaces where life experiences can be expressed, acknowledged, and transformed into actions that empower and uplift the community.
Our Mission
To promote emotional healing, community wellbeing, and collective leadership through art and popular education. We create safe and inclusive spaces where Latina women and families can express their experiences, strengthen their identity, and transform their stories into actions that generate social change.
Our Vision
To become a community reference in California and eventually nationwide in the use of art as a tool for healing, empowerment, and building more connected, conscious, and compassionate communities. We deeply believe that when a woman heals, her family and her community heal as well.
Our Programs and Services
Voces Que Sanan Community Healing provides educational services through workshops in community theater, participatory photography, arts and crafts, and other creative practices. Participants develop artistic skills, explore topics affecting their lives, and share their experiences through collaborative learning.
We also organize community exhibitions featuring participants’ photographs and artwork, along with public presentations of community theater. These events give participants an opportunity to share their work and invite the wider community into conversation through art.
