Power of the Voice
Works that reclaim expression through writing, speaking, and public presence.
These works explore voice not only as sound, but as a force—something that carries personal truth, claims space, and reshapes the way we are seen and heard. Through writing, speaking, and live presence, *Abre Tu Boca* asks: What happens when we stop silencing ourselves? What opens when we say the thing—first to ourselves and then out loud? What becomes possible when we let the authentic inner voice rise to the page, enter the room, and then release it into the world?
This body of work is part of Abre Tu Boca, an ongoing social practice writing project launched in 2022 to help individuals find and flex the power of their voice—on the page and out loud.
