Speaking without Tongues

Hidden Voices is a non-profit based in Carrboro, NC. Their mission is to empower people to tell thier stories so that we can improve communities.

Currently, Hidden Voices is working on a project for Domestic Violence Awareness Month (October) titled Speaking without Tongues. This project includes 5 women from diverse backgrounds sharing their stories of overcoming abusive relationships. The performances in October will include acting, music, photography and an art display of boxes made by survivors from all over North Carolina. To see a sampling of this performance and to learn more about Hidden Voices, check out this video from a fundraiser held in May, 2008:
