BAGGAGE
THE
MOVEMENT
Art that shatters silence
Wearing art, igniting conversation.
The Baggage Movement is a powerful way to speak through art that sparks conversation and demands that our unspoken truths be heard. Refusing to be silenced by the shadows of our past, The Baggage Movement turns pain into a platform for change against sexual abuse. We emerge with bold strokes, every brushstroke a battle cry, to shatter barriers and advocate for healing. Together, with every canvas a testament to the strength of the human spirit, we can confront the elephant in the room.
ART
SPEAKS…
Each purposeful stroke of the artists’ brush speaks to the multitude of lives, harmoniously intertwined, waiting to be discovered in this collection of art.

According to recent statistics, over 37 million people are living with broken body boundaries in the U.S. One out of every three girls and one out of every five boys fall victim to body boundary violations before their 18th birthday. Astonishingly, data also reveals that 90% of such violations are committed by individuals we know and trust. These alarming numbers shed light on the unfortunate reality that our circles sometimes harbor the most significant threats of abuse.
However, prevention is possible through education!
We refuse to be hushed.
Join Our Movement!
When you carry our versatile art, you support prevention, education, and healing initiatives, making it possible to pave the way for a safer and more empathetic future.
When you share our project, you open the door for one more person to have a safe conversation or be encouraged to learn how to identify the red flags of abuse.
Prevention is possible. You have the power to make a difference. Become a part of The Baggage Movement community today, and together, let's reshape the narrative surrounding broken body boundaries in childhood.
Remember – change begins with a conversation, and art is the language that brings us all together.
Let The BAGGAGE Movement be your voice of advocacy and inspiration, opening doors to compassion, awareness, and healing, one art piece at a time.
“We will no longer carry our BAGGAGE in vain. For ourselves, for others, and for those who can’t carry it on their own, we will teach, inform, promote healing, and let our hearts beat out of our chest as we begin to have the conversations that bring about transformation.”
