| 05 March 2009
This emotional, interpretive exhibit gives the viewer an idea of where the participants have come from and what their struggles have been to get where they are now. It is an impressive and heartwarming show of people changing their lives by their actions and by the painful process of tattoo removal.
Stories and photographs will be presented on clients who participate in the SLO Liberty Tattoo Removal Program, a subsidiary of the Economic Opportunity Commission’s Health Services. The exhibit was funded by the California Council for the Humanities. Those portrayed are ex-gang members with the desire to erase anti-social tattoos in order to move forward with positive change in their lives, while further mainstreaming in to society. This is a glimpse in to their lives and an example of the strength necessary to break generational chains of abuse, incarceration and gang activity. This powerful project will share a vulnerable population’s unheard stories, and a local program’s influences, while providing a glimpse in to the challenges, struggles and successes of these brave people.
