Co-presented by Gibney Community Action’s first partner, Sanctuary for Families, Cracks of Light is part of Gibney’s annual observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
In this series of performance works created during the journey from struggle to survival, Gibney bears witness to survivors of intimate partner and gender-based violence. By bringing forward stories once held in silence, this series continues to give voice to the power of art and community.
Presenting performances by Nana Chinara, Gender/Power, Arielle Rosales, and Sanctuary for Families’ Survivor Leaders. With Gibney, the Survivor Leaders create original dance works, which honor aspects of their individual journeys as a reminder that we all possess the capacity for change. They reclaim power and control over their own bodies, utilizing the arts for social change.
"I am so much more than the violence I have survived, and my healing is a never-ending part of myself that keeps unfolding." - Nana Chinara
