Join us tonight at 6pm for @bspfilmsorg film debut of #hervoicecarries, to view the MAG installation "Her Voice Carries | Prelude" and enjoy a reception in the Pavilion sponsored by @brownhounddowntown • • • • About the Film: Film by David Marshall with Co-producers Christine Christopher and Hélène Biandudi-Hofer Her Voice Carries shares mural artist, Sarah C. Rutherford’s journey of discovery as she identifies and collects the stories of ordinary-yet-extraordinary women, visually punctuated by the emerging mural art that will honor their work far beyond the neighborhoods they call home. Blending compelling storytelling and provocative visuals, the film weaves back and forth between the women’s stories and Sarah’s work as she seeks to discover what inspires these women, what drives them, what they have seen, why they do what they do. Women of Her Voice Carries: Rachel McKibbens | Imani Olear | KaeLyn Rich | Safi Osman | Trelawney McCoy *There will be no museum admission charge to anyone coming in to see the movie.

“We will continue to rise because we are the voices of the caged bird, so let us speak because we deserve to be heard.” -Shalinda Bollar • • Final photos of the first wall of the national tour featuring Shalinda Bollar from Rochester, NY painted in downtown Haverhill, MA. In the mural, Shalinda holds out the microphone to the next generation of youth voices. Behind her an arched window is embedded in the wall, originally seen at Eastman Gardens in Rochester, symbolizing a window or gateway from one community to the next. • • Thank you to our sponsors! @opositivefest @switchboard_haverhill @marrcompanies #cityofhaverhill #traggorthcompaniesllc and to everyone in Haverhill that helped to make this wall a success. 📸: @kodyfoto • • • • #hervoicecarries #hervoicecarrieshaverhill #theswitchboardhaverhill #muralism #teenempowerment #HVCNationalTour #shalindabollar #mtncolors #sarahcrutherford

#HVCNationalTour (Haverhill MA Edition)- progress pictures. Mural featuring Shalinda Bollar from Rochester, NY. A huge thank you to our sponsors! @opositivefest @switchboard_haverhill @marrcompanies #cityofhaverhill #traggorthcompaniesllc • • • • #hervoicecarries #hervoicecarrieshaverhill #theswitchboardhaverhill #muralism #teenempowerment

Introducing our first featured woman in the national tour, Shalinda Bollar.✨ We are beginning the project by painting a woman from Rochester, NY in Haverhill, MA and then working with community members to select a woman in Haverhill who will be painted in our next mural city, continuing across the country in an effort to bridge communities across state lines and create a network of murals across America that weave a collective story laced with individual truths. • Shalinda Bollar is 19 years old and resides in Rochester, NY. Following years of experience as a youth organizer, Shalinda works as an Associate Coordinator @te_roc_city. Young people regularly tell Shalinda how she inspired them to choose alternatives to resist the lures of street life. Her involvement in a youth-adult partnership to end the school-to-prison pipeline in Rochester schools earned her a “Princeton Prize on Race Relations” in 2017. The Center for Teen Empowerment Inc, with offices in Boston, Somerville, MA and Rochester, NY, helps low-income, urban youth hone their understanding of the obstacles they face while utilizing their talents and skills to create change in their own lives and in their communities. • • • • #teenempowerment #theswitchboardhaverhill #hervoicecarrieshaverhill #hervoicecarries #rochesterny #haverhillma

#HVCNationalTour has begun! #staytuned #hervoicecarrieshaverhill

Thank you to everyone who came out this past Saturday to celebrate the completion of #hervoicecarries (Rochester Edition). We hope you will now visit the murals in their entirety as well as the map key @magrochester (until December). It was a beautiful night spent honoring the women featured in the project as well as the community support from all across Rochester. Together we raised $1000 towards the organizations connected to each woman including #popwarnerfootball #pinkdoorwritersretreat @refugeeshelpingrefugees @theavenueblackbox @yoga4agoodhood. Keep spreading the word and supporting these local organizations who are engaged in incredibly important work! And while this marks the completion of HVC here in Rochester, the journey is just beginning. Much love and stay tuned!✨ 📷:@livesstyled #rochesterlove #murals #hervoicecarries #hvcwrapparty #kaelynrich #imaniolear #trelawneymccoy #rachelmckibbens #safiosman #sarahcrutherford
