ArtPrize Installation Raises Awareness at the Super Bowl
StreetLightUSA is sponsoring The Scarlet Cord during the Pro Bowl and the Super Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona! Rochelle Raimão, a film producer, approached me about capturing The Scarlet Cord Exhibition at the Super Bowl in a video project. But we need your help to raise awareness on the horrific topic of child sex trafficking!
The numbers of children enslaved in the commercial sex industry are astounding. According to Forbes, the 2010 Miami Super Bowl brought roughly 10,000 prostitutes to the city.
Unfortunately, we are pressed for time. We are scrambling to raise funds by January 9, 2015. Would you be willing to partner with us and help fund an $8,000 to $10,000 video to expand our message of hope and healing beyond the Super Bowl for children in sexual bondage?

Pamela’s ArtPrize 2014: The Scarlet Cord
The Scarlet Cord
Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum
September 24 through October 12, 2014
As visitors step inside a 40-foot storage container filled with thirty doors, they enter a secret world. This dark world crosses religious and social economic borders to sell our children for sex. A twisting scarlet cord depicts the trauma bond that connects the children to their traffickers. The weathered doors represent these abused children whose youthful minds have become knotted. Pamela’s art—dedicated to these suffering children tethered within the sex industry—calls for compassionate action.
