Who We Are & What We Do
“Where after all do human rights begin? In small places, close to home-so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Such are the places where every man, woman and child seek equal opportunity, equal dignity, without discrimination. Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.”
— Eleanor Roosevelt
Traveling Postcards™ believes that when survivors transform traumatic experiences into creative expression, they begin to heal, share their strengths with others, and become powerful leaders in ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV).
Our workshops create safe spaces for healing and witnessing survivor resiliency. Each handmade postcard serves as a tangible gift of solidarity for another survivor, while amplifying the strength of both the art and artist by sharing them with the world.
Too often people feel their voices don't matter. Art provides a pathway to discover and capture one's unique voice in a safe and empowering way. Within the Traveling Postcards™ experience, your voice isn't just important—your empathy, solidarity, and resilience play a central role in eliminating violence.
Our Team.
Beginning May 2025, we will close the non- profit portion of Traveling Postcards™ and are excited to begin the migration of our work to our founder Caroline Lovell's ongoing art practice as a healing artist. More info soon!
Traveling Postcards™ is fortunate to collaborate with extraordinary individuals—from dedicated volunteers and board members to skilled workshop facilitators and courageous participants. Each person contributes their time and expertise, for which we are profoundly grateful.
Our journey has taken us across the country to safe houses and domestic violence shelters, bringing our programs to diverse communities including college campuses, military bases, refugee centers, and international aid organizations. At each location, directors and administrators graciously facilitate our visits and create welcoming environments.
The work of addressing gender-based violence requires entire communities of activists, healers, educators, and leaders to create meaningful change—to move the needle so that all of us can both feel safe and be safe.
Below is a selection of the remarkable people and organizations we've partnered with, each contributing significantly to making our vision thrive!
