PERSONALIZE YOUR SOUL BOX TO MAKE IT MORE VISIBLE!
When visitors walk into Soul Box exhibits and encounter thousands of Soul Boxes, each with a face, name, place or date, they slow down. They look. They read. They spend time with the victims and their stories.
This is a lesson we’ve learned with our first exhibits. Along with the folding and counting and folding and counting to reach our numerical goals, we need to share as many individual stories as possible. That's why it's important to personalize your Soul Boxes. Each victim’s life story takes on power when joined with the stories of others.
Here are some tips for making your Soul Boxes as unique as the lives they represent.
Look Beyond the Headlines
Whenever a shooting makes the news -- especially a mass shooting -- we receive a lot of duplicate Soul Boxes and sets of Soul Boxes. You can contact us at SoulBoxTeam@gmail.com to get names of victims not already represented on our panels.
Potent Messages and Images
Soul Boxes with original artwork used to inspire or heal can be incredibly compelling. Use your imagination and express your feelings. Spend a little extra time to create a unique work of Soul Box art.
Include Information About the Victim's Life
The data behind a shooting -- the name, age, place and date -- help document the incident. But a victim's life is so much richer than the shooting incident. Take time to learn about the person's life via the internet, if possible. If you're honoring somebody you know, personalize your Soul Box especially for your loved one.
