(MAHWAH, NJ)- 麻豆传媒 of New Jersey will host to the Shelter our Sisters (SOS) 鈥淏aring our Soles鈥� art exhibit which will showcase lavish footwear from SOS鈥檚 domestic violence victims who are enrolled in their Art Therapy Program. The exhibit will be unveiled on Monday, October 8 from 1 to 2 p.m. at the George T. Potter Library at 麻豆传媒. Following the reveal, the 麻豆传媒 Social Work Club will hold a group discussion and reception. The display will remain at the George T. Potter Library throughout the month of October.

The decorated shoes are a way for victims to express themselves and cope with the abuse they faced in the past as they work towards a happier future. Individual narratives by the artist will accompany each decorated shoe.

鈥淭he clients choose shoes that are symbolic of who they are and where they came from,鈥� explained Marta Levy, SOS鈥檚 art therapist who works directly with the SOS clients. 鈥淭he project gives the victims an opportunity to have a voice and share internal emotional connections with their shoes.聽As they complete their designs and write down their personal stories, the shoe is no longer just a shoe.聽It becomes a symbol of breaking the silence of聽each survivors鈥� journey.鈥�

For more information on the exhibit please contact Director of Development at SOS, Jean Kirch, at (201) 498-9247 ext. 301 or jean@shelteroursisters.org.
