The intentions behind Lopez work is to not only share a personal “elephant” but to have discussions surrounding unspoken topics such as abuse, survivors of abuse, awareness, the power of a ‘share’ and how the arts can be used to heal, to empower and to educate. This session will consist of a video screening, performance and artist lead discussion based on the mission of “What’s Your Elephant?”Tickets for all events are $10 and can be purchased at the door.
