Spearheaded by aja monet (Grammy nominated poet and V-Day Voices Artistic Creative Director), VOICES: a sacred sisterscape is an audio experience of stories written by, narrated by and centering Black women across the diaspora.

“At a time where so many are being encouraged to speak, to voice, and tell their stories—we find it just as important if not more to listen. It is critical to facilitate art that encourages radical listening for the sake of connection, compassion, and community. This art piece is a celebration of the interior lives we embody and less about fixating on our identities or appearances. We seek to encourage and establish a culture that fosters radical truth-telling love & solidarity,” shares aja monet, Voices Artistic Creative Director for V-Day.

Presented by V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against all women, gender expansive people, girls and the Earth, VOICES is an interdisciplinary performance art project and campaign grounded in Black women’s stories brought to life.

LeahAnn “Lafemmebear” Mitchell, a Grammy nominated producer, has composed new music to accompany the audio play. In 2021, she etched her name in history as the first Black trans woman to produce a record featured on a Top Ten charting album. VOICES is produced by Hollis Heath and V-Day.

We invite you to come experience the soundscape to strengthen the bonds within yourself and with community.
