The Voices and Faces Project's award-winning testimonial writing workshops and narrative advocacy trainings
During Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the voices and faces behind the Feminist Art Movement.

No one individual or community could ever be the "face" of a feminist artistic movement that spans decades, and continents. But acclaimed artist Michaela Spiegel — the founder of Centre Pompadour, Europe's only feminist artists' residency — has crafted a series of video portraits that speak to the collective power of the artists, writers, and content creators who are driving today's global feminist artistic movement.

One of the persons she profiles is our own Anne K. Ream, the founder of The Voices and Faces Project (which will be rebranded and expanded as Center for Story & Witness in spring, 2024). A past artist in residence at Centre Pompadour — working alongside painter and Art Works for Change curator Randy Rosenberg — Anne spoke to Michaela about her journey into feminism, how a literature that centers women shapes her worldview, and why the "male gaze" can be so hard to shake.

During Women's History Month 2024, our Voices and Faces Project team stands in solidarity with the global community of feminist artists who are using their voices, stories and art to create a more just, equitable, loving, and free world. Thank you for all you do, for all of us.

We're not waiting for change, we're working for it: Take part in a Voices and Faces Project narrative advocacy training.

Our Voices and Faces Project Narrative Advocacy Training Series was created to help allies, advocates, and activists working on a wide range of social justice issues think in new ways about the power, purpose, and ethics of storytelling. Training participants consider how language and word choice can help us break through ideological or partisan barriers, discuss the best ways to share the stories of injustice they have witnessed, and reflect on which stories they seek to tell in their work. Our narrative advocacy trainings have been offered in partnership with the Clinton Presidential Center, the Buffett Center for International & Comparative Studies, the Obama Fellows Program, and hundreds of other NGOs — and we're only getting started. Bring one of our immersive trainings to your NGO, or partner with us to create something all-new and just right for you.

Our stories are our power.
At The Voices and Faces Project we’re using them to create change.
The Voices and Faces Project is an award-winning non-profit storytelling initiative created to bring the names, faces, and testimonies of survivors of gender-based violence to the attention of the public. Through our educational and advocacy trainings, survivor story archive and signature program, The Stories We Tell — an immersive, two-day testimonial writing workshop for those who have lived through or witnessed gender-based violence or other human rights violations — we seek to change minds, hearts, and public policies through the power of personal testimony. The Voices and Faces Project has been named one of America's Best Charities by the board of Independent Charities of America, and is a registered 501c3 organization.
