As the Founder and CEO of Make Music Matter, Darcy Ataman, M.S.C., O.M. has dedicated his life’s work to bringing an alternate form of music therapy to survivors of sexual violence, conflict and trauma. Working in partnership with Nobel Laureate, Dr. Denis Mukwege, Darcy developed the Healing in Harmony program where patients become artists to begin the healing process by writing, recording and professionally producing songs about their emotions and experiences simultaneously engaging in therapy and developing their own musical artistry. Participants emerge as confident artists and advocates publicly disseminating their music via local radio, community concerts, social media, and major streaming platforms, helping to reduce stigma surrounding sexual violence, HIV/AIDS, poverty, mental illness, displacement/refugee status, and more. To highlight the human cost of war, music producer Darcy Ataman and photographer Jason Willheim travelled to Lviv, Ukraine to connect with musicians and artists to capture their experiences. The outcome is an exhibit entitled Ukrainian Artists United composed of a series of multi-media portraits representing the unique story of each artist. This exhibit will open at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights on Friday February 24th.
