Amar no es Herir / Love Shouldn't Hurt

Amar no es Herir/Love Shouldn't Hurt was "an ongoing bilingual web project" that tried to "articulate healing spaces changing community and personal response to domestic violence and other type of violence. The project [was] partially supported by the Arts and Healing Community Grant/Institute of Noetic Science, the Instituto de la Mujer Quintanarroence, Cancun, Mexico and by the City of Berkeley Domestic Violence Prevention Partnership, California, USA. Deborah A. Arthur and Papusa Molna collaborated as text editors. Agustin Chong provided some of the photographs used in the project.
