During the month of October, as we observe Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we have an opportunity to reflect on the impacts of intimate partner violence and uplift the voices of survivors. We also have an opportunity to disrupt the root causes of intimate partner violence and to commit to a future free from violence.

In partnership with the Domestic Violence Awareness Project, Atria Collective is expanding upon the 2024 DVAM theme, Heal, Hold, and Center. As we recognize DVAM and beyond, it’s crucial that we come together, recognizing diverse cultural paths to healing from violence and oppression, and commit to holding supportive spaces for survivors. Our efforts to end intimate partner violence must center those who are most marginalized. As we focus on healing, supporting, and amplifying survivors, we collectively affirm that true justice for survivors cannot exist without racial justice.

This Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are excited to announce that you can support survivors by purchasing a calendar from Project Reverie. Project Reverie is an art project aiming to reshape narratives surrounding survivors of gender-based violence, created by student Felicity Wong. The calendar features twelve survivor portraits illustrated by Felicity that uplift heir hopes, dreams, and identities.

We are honored that Felicity has chosen Atria Collective as the beneficiary for all calendar purchases. You can purchase a calendar here.

Many (many many) thanks to the incredible artist, Felicity Wong, and Carly Thomsen, professor at Rice University who oversaw the project.
