USING ART TO BEAR WITNESS

USING ART TO BEAR WITNESS

One excruciatingly painful lesson Breyting has learned is that we cannot stop injustice and cruelty from happening in the world. Still, we can bear witness to these horrible actions by taking the time to document these events and listen to the stories of those who were hurt.

Artists play a crucial role in this process by using their art to capture these traumatic events, helping us all process the experience and lighten our emotional load through a shared understanding. Without artists, the world would be a bleak and heartless place to live.
