About the Exhibit
Stories of a Girl (April 4th - May 23rd) curated by Binh Danh shares the hopes and dreams behind the statistics of human trafficking. Key highlights of the art exhibit include photos taken by trafficking survivors living in Pacific Links Foundation's shelters.
"Part of this exhibit is to showcase the amazing voices and talents of the survivors. We gave them cameras as microphones to document their beautiful voices. This is the evidence of their incredible talent and of beauty, which would have been lost to our connected humanity if these survivors had not risked their lives for their freedom. Their courage and their talent fuel our resolve on this journey to protect." - Diep Vuong, President
