Suzanne Lacy and collaborators listed by project (Multiple cities throughout the US, 1993-94)


This art project on family violence, spanning two years and several sites across the country, involved wrecked cars in sculptural installations. The cars were reconfigured by women and children who suffered violence at the hands of loved ones. Linked to each other through common experience, women from a domestic violence shelter in Pittsburgh, a family violence program at Bedford Hills Prison, children from shelters in Niagara Falls and Cleveland, teenage girls in Oakland, and politicians on Staten Island all collaborated in making the cars. At each site a domestic violence prevention group presented community outreach programs and advised on issues.
