From the moment of contact, it ripples through the lives of those who experience assault, affecting their loved ones, their community, and their world. This impact is insidious, replayed and encouraged to thrive through media, various forms of oppression, social conditioning, stigmatization and fear. No one of us is left untouched. Join DISCLOSE for a profound exploration of the many shades of impact through the diverse work of local and national visual, spoken, video and performance artists. photo: Quinn Peck.  This event is wheelchair accessible.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLOSE is a Bay Area, art-based collectivist organization founded in the Spring of 2013 to address the pervasive issue of sexual violence.
