The theme for Womankind’s 7th annual "Hear Our Voices" art exhibit is "Presence/Pleasure/Power"! Survivors of gender-based violence can feel as if their own presence, pleasure, and power have been taken away because of what has happened to them. We believe that in their healing journeys, these can all be reclaimed by centering survivors and supporting them to start new chapters in their life where these three elements are interconnected and weaved together. We invite survivors, allies, and community members to create artwork in any medium that embodies what "Presence/Pleasure/Power" means to them.

The virtual exhibit will launch this October in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, with an in-person gallery show at the end of the month. More details will be shared soon.

Womankind respects and values all forms of expression and welcomes all mediums and styles. This includes, but is not limited, to painting, drawing, sculpture, music, dance, writing, poetry, collage, graphic art, and performance art.

Submissions must be in a format that can be shared over a web-based platform.

Individual files cannot exceed 10MB. Up to 5 files per person. The submission deadline is Saturday, October 17th.

Although we hope to showcase as many artworks as we can, please understand that there is limited space in the exhibit.
