About

OUR COLLECTIVE:

Hidden Voices is a radically inclusive, participatory, and co-creative collective grounded in compassion, restoration, and welcome.

OUR VISION & VALUES:

All lives have meaning. Every story matters. Our mission is to challenge, strengthen, and connect our diverse communities through the transformative power of story.

OUR WORK:

Encourages deep listening; expansive dialogue, and inspired action. Since 2003, Hidden Voices has collaborated with underrepresented communities to create award-winning works that combine narrative, performance, music, digital media, interactive exhibits, and community conversations to engage audiences and participants in explorations of complex issues.

OUR PROCESS: 

Is a participatory workshop model that empowers change through collective visioning and collaborative action. The Hidden Voices Process facilitates a dynamic exchange between documentary, art, and community that allows for a multiplicity of voices and a multiplexity of understandings. By the close of a Hidden Voices project, between 15,000 and 20,000 individuals have engaged the work through interviews, workshops, exhibits, media, and performances.

Hidden Voices is a registered 501 (c) 3 non-profit, with more than 100 volunteers and contributing professionals developing two to three projects annually. Hidden Voices invests in the deep listening that produces effective, community-based action. Our projects extend over many years as we work with communities to facilitate conversations and, from those, the artistic material that illuminates the complexity of these issues.
