In its ninth year, Voices of Resistance (VOR) seeks to create a space for South Asian artists to use their art as a powerful means of social commentary that empowers and transforms.
Our event last year at Old Town School of Folk Music was a great success, with over 300 attendees. This year we look forward to continuing the tradition of politically conscious art with a show that speaks to our VOR9 theme of Fair & Lovely. This year’s theme elicits many images and responses, including complexities of identity; the divisions within us, our families, communities and beyond; historic and contemporary understandings of beauty; privilege within our communities; and the struggles for acceptance and compassion in our lives.
