"Secrets" is a self-organized project initiated by the<br>
6+ women's art collective, in collaboration with eight<br>
Palestinian women artists. "Secrets" has been a series<br>
of social exchanges, workshops and publications, as<br>
well as an art exhibition traveling to several<br>
locations in the Occupied Territories of Palestine and<br>
the US. Over the course of two years and half dozen<br>
trips to the West Bank, solidarities have developed<br>
across great distances, connecting artists, cultural<br>
producers, institutions, educators, journalists,<br>
writers and social thinkers. The project owes its<br>
existence to the mobilization of their creative<br>
energies.<br>
<br>
The exhibition is an expression of the artists' desire<br>
to ground their differences, to cast their voices –<br>
individually and collectively – against the deafening<br>
silence.<br>
