Event Details
FBTW is a 501(c)(3) that advocates for stopping arrests of battered women, granting them clemency, and supporting incarcerated/released survivors in their reentry. Our exhibit, “Acting under Duress, Surviving with Resilience,” is a set of seven display panels which include four formerly incarcerated survivors’ stories in prose and photos. Content Advisory: there are written descriptions of violence. For persons who wish to donate money, we have the longer exhibit guide for a suggested $10 donation.
We have received funding for this project via 3 foundations (Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation Margaret Fuller Grant, Resist Foundation and Alice Kleberg Reynolds Foundation) and the social justice committee and Community Responsibility Endowment Fund at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Antonio.
Our goal with this exhibit is to humanize and contextualize the actions of abuse survivors under duress from that abuse that led to incarceration. Our greater goal fits the DreamWeek 2025 theme of “We are neighbor” in that we live here in this very community and state!
