A Memorial to Survivors
of Sexual Violence
Located in Boom Island Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
The first of its kind in the United States
We are surrounded by survivors of sexual violence. This memorial honors the courage and strength of survivors and brings awareness to the prevalence of sexual violence. It is a symbol that our community believes survivors, supports survivors, and stands with survivors in solidarity.
The memorial depicts two prominent metaphors: mosaic and a ripple effect. The mosaic represents that even broken pieces can be put together to create something whole and beautiful. The ripple effect represents the multiplying power of breaking the silence; by telling our stories, we unconsciously give other survivors permission to tell theirs.
