3. A Closing Reception and Performances will be held on March 23. This event will give attendees an opportunity to learn more about the inspiration behind the work from the artists and the important efforts of Violence Transformed! Download flyer or see online calendar for more information.

Gun violence touches on issues central to American life: safety, equality, opportunity, and community. It takes thousands of lives, depresses the quality of life of whole neighborhoods, and it reflects America’s existing racial and economic disparities.

The work of participating artists imagine alternatives to violence and give expression to themes of protest, refuge, survival, healing and commemoration.  This exhibition underscores Cambridge College’s commitment to promote awareness and to address the issue of violence, in the communities we serve and live in.
