Collective Voices: The Power of Empathy

Join the United Women of East Africa for the opening evening of Collective Voices: The Power of Empathy!

The mission of the Collective Voices program is to express the pride we have in ourselves, give young Muslim girls a voice, and connect with others to eliminate misconceptions.

About the Program:
This exhibition is a culmination of Collective Voices’ third year of participatory photography programming as a collaboration between The AjA Project and The United Women of East Africa. This program aims to provide East African youth arts programming, provide outlets for creative self-expression, and offer an opportunity to ignite critical conversations around culture and social justice.

About the Exhibition:
This round of workshops focused on youth-organized programming centering around solidarity building, health equity, and a critical examination of mental health as it relates to lived experience and community. Collective Voices partnered with the City Heights Youth for Change of the Somali Bantu Community of San Diego of San Diego and San Diego State University’s Transfronterizo Alliance Student Organization (TASO) presenting three collaborative pieces.
