Teens responses to violence
through visual art & poetry
Violence Transformed is an exhibition of visual and performing arts scheduled in concert with the Annual Victim Rights Conference of the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance. Professional curators, performers, artists, and teachers from across the Boston area collaborate every year to seek out art and performance works thatconfront, mediate and challenge the prevalence of violence in contemporary society. The centerpiece of Violence Transformed is a weeklong exhibit of works in varied media held at the Massachusetts State House in Boston, accompanied by a celebratory evening of performance. For the last four years Urbano’s Teen Spoken Word and Visual Art Curators have participated in Violence Transformed, creating exhibitions and poetry performances that address teens’ responses to violence in Boston and the world.
