          AWBW builds capacity at partnering organizations through training their staff to facilitate our trauma-informed art workshops, as well as continuing to support them as they implement the Windows Program with those who have experienced various forms of trauma. Through this unique model, we have developed a nationwide network of 450+ active Windows Facilitators, allowing us to reach tens of thousands of survivors each year.

Sonia’s Joy Journey

Posted 06/13/2024 by Kate

 

Hi Everyone!

I’m Sonia. I’m a high school student and I’m a summer intern at A Window Between Worlds.

This summer, I am exploring my own durational art journey as well as designing a durational art action for my high school. I have chosen to use a durational mural to anchor my joy.

On this mural, I’ve painted my hand and my sister’s hand to represent the joy I feel when I spend time with her. Each day, I write something that made me happy, even if just for a moment.

This mural helps remind me that there’s always joy to feel, even if it is small.

As you’re watching this, I invite you to think about what brings you joy.

Thank you!
