Alaska's Arctic Women in Crisis (AWIC) leads empowering and healing Windows art workshops to enrich the lives of participants in their weekly Family Night Group.
During April’s Sexual Assault Awareness Month, staff and participants took action by creating art as part of I CAN WE CAN. Group members painted their hands in a gesture of solidarity with each other to find a way to break the silence surrounding sexual assault and domestic violence. AWIC advocates Nikita San Agustin, Amy Casilla, Jackie Harris, and Eva Villalon created an inspiring message of hope using a giant hand filled with smaller ones—each hand designed to challenge the silence and convey a message of peace.
