Ripple Effects is a multimedia interactive art exhibition memorializing victims of gun violence and documenting efforts to remedy the issue.
In the process of creating Catching Bullets, the filmmakers partnered with a number of violence prevention organizations, including Life Outside of Violence, the Bullet Related Injury Clinic, Sankofa Unity Center, Breaking Generational Poverty, and more. We also partnered with arists from the Faces Not Fogotten and Shot at Survival projects.
Ripple Effects combines quilts of victims created by Faces Not Forgotten volunteers, watercolor portraits of activists and survivors from Shot at Survival, and short films telling victims' stories and documenting those working to end violence in our cities. The goal of the exhibition is to help viewers know the victims and feel the impact of the violence epidemic while finding hope in the various ways community members are addressing the crisis.
​
Ripple Effects is available for booking in galleries, schools, and public faces nationwide. The exhibition can paired with expert speakers to discuss violence prevention, art, filmmaking, social work, public health, healthcare, and public policy. It can also be combined with a public screening of the feature documentary, Catching Bullets, upon request.
