Project Description: unspoken\/\/unbroken <\/strong>is a multidisciplinary public event presented by WADE in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Through live dance, visual art, and community dialogue, the event raises awareness about the impact of domestic violence in the U.S.\u2014where nearly 1 in 3 women experience physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime\u2014while honoring survivors and connecting audiences to critical support services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WADE brings nearly a decade of experience in socially engaged artmaking, grounded in a mission of gender equity and systemic change. This initiative includes three key components: a live performance developed through WADE\u2019s Full ON<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject <\/em>residency; an interactive gallery exhibition that explores the company\u2019s evolution alongside the legal history of domestic violence in the U.S.; and structured dialogues with community members, artists, and justice professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guided by research and survivor-led advocacy, unspoken\/\/unbroken <\/em>centers themes of resilience, remembrance, and action. The gallery will feature 140: A Memorial in Bloom<\/em>, a tribute to victims of feminicide, inspired by UN data reporting that an average of 140 women are killed each day by intimate partners or family members. As part of the exhibition, we are exploring the use of data visualization to trace the legal history of domestic violence in the U.S.\u2014a tool to move beyond statistics and confront the lived realities in our communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WADE<\/strong> <\/strong>is a women-led performing arts organization working at the intersection of art and social justice. We serve women-identifying and nonbinary artists, survivors of gender-based violence, and historically underrepresented communities. Our broader audience includes LGBTQIA+ individuals, pre-professional dancers, college-aged young adults, and community members who engage with performance as a means of healing, education, and social change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WADE\u2019s mission is to support and amplify the artistic expressions of historically marginalized voices. Audience development is centered on cultivating long-term, reciprocal relationships. Through our programs (residencies, performances, workshops, and festivals) we offer direct opportunities for participation and engagement. Our audiences are not just spectators but collaborators, participants, and co-creators in the work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through projects such as unspoken\/\/unbroken, we aim to engage intergenerational New York City audiences, especially those impacted by domestic violence, via partnerships, residencies, and events that center healing, storytelling, and equity-focused art. We create spaces where lived experience informs artistic practice, and where movement, sound, and shared reflection support deeper community connection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
