Survivor Nest Project
Address
The Survivor Nest Project is a transformational healing arts project for survivors of incest and childhood sexual abuse. Organized by Carla Beatrice of Survivor Nest, an interactive exhibit and programming is taking place in April during Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Month and Sexual Assault Awareness Month. A powerful installation by artist Debbie Baxter of The Nest Project includes a giant life sized nest, nesting portraits of survivors and narratives of the healing they brought into their nesting experiences. Join us in this incredible historic site, once used for public meetings and gatherings, as Baxter transforms it into a safe, nurturing and intimate womb-like environment.
The nest and main installation will be displayed on the second floor of Old Town Hall, with a smaller installation and panel discussion as part of CultureHouse Salem.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Lynn Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
