Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.
–Albert Camus
I recently discovered Grace Brown’s Project Unbreakable. TIME magazine named her website one of the top 30 Tumblr blogs to follow. The video below provides you with some context.
…and that is the astonishing power of art – art can go through where other things can’t. You can’t have barriers because it breaks through your prejudices. It breaks through everything that you have as your mask that says, “I am this… I am that.” No. It breaks through those and it reaches somewhere where other things don’t. And in a world where attitudes are so difficult to change, we need a language that breaks through.
–Mallika Sarabhai’s
That is why we will dance to change the world.

Wow, that was such a powerful video. Incredibly moving on so many levels, not the least of which is Grace’s use of photography to turn these terrible events into moments of empowerment. Thanks for sharing!

The images on her website are riveting. They slice right through.

Every time I say “I am this” or “I am that” it feels so untrue. Yet art gives us another opportunity to express the inexpressible yet again.
