We are excited to announce "Journeys to Freedom," an exhibition of photography by women who have survived sex trafficking in San Diego.

For the past four months, survivors living at a safe house operated by the non-profit organization GenerateHope, based in south San Diego, have been studying photography with local photographer/educator Sophia Sobko as a means of healing and self expression. We are now thrilled to present their work to the public.

Sex trafficking is a serious problem in San Diego, having recently overtaken drugs as the top cash source for gangs. This is especially relevant now given the recent bust of a North Park-based trafficking ring.

This art exhibition is a community event that addresses the dual goals of educating the public about this issue and empowering survivors. The opening reception will include a champagne/cider toast and appetizers, and selected works will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting survivors currently rebuilding their lives at Generate Hope.
