Pearls of Wisdom: End the Violence is a two-year community engagement project created by artist Kim Abeles in collaboration with A Window Between Worlds and over 800 survivors of domestic violence. It is based on the powerful metaphor of pearls as treasures that form inside an oyster in response to a hurtful irritant. 

"This is the healing of art: to see one's isolated suffering transformed into a tale of hope; to see private tragedy transformed into public urgency . . ."
 

-Suzanne Lacy, noted artist, author and Chair of the Otis Graduate Public Practice program.
