Reclaiming Power through Performance Art, Confronting Abuse, and Inspiring Healing
ETTE's Exclusive Gallery Show
In a deeply powerful and courageous act, multidisciplinary artist ETTE has reclaimed her power from the devastating effects of rape and abuse. In her groundbreaking performance art piece titled "Whistle Blower," ETTE fearlessly exposed the name of her rapist and abuser. This extraordinary show, co-produced by celebrity stylist and media personality Derek Warburton, also featured his brave account of abuse.
The name revealed was that of Harif Guzman, a renowned Venezuelan artist recognized for his international exhibitions and collaborations with esteemed brands like Ralph Lauren and Volcom. Shockingly, Guzman had reportedly preyed upon young female artists, including ETTE, who had already endured childhood abuse by other predators.
For ETTE, "Whistle Blower" became a transformative journey of reclaiming her life and her voice. Drawing upon her shamanic abilities and channeling guidance from her beloved grandmother, ETTE found inspiration to express her trauma through art. As a published poet and internationally-exhibited painter, her talent and resilience know no bounds.
May's newsletter celebrates the resilience and artistic prowess of ETTE, reminding us of the power of creativity to transcend trauma and ignite change. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories and thought-provoking content in this month's issue.
