Through literary and visual arts, Voices Breaking Boundaries provokes awareness and dialogue about social justice issues across and within local and global borders.

Looking for a space to perform her work, she invited four women writers/artists – Christine Choi, Marcela Descalzi, Donna Perkins, and Jacsun Shah – to join her in starting a literary collective. Sarwar received project grants from the Houston Arts Alliance (then called Cultural Arts Council of Houston/Harris County), and the collective hosted bi-monthly readings at a Houston bookstore. The response ignited Sehba’s determination to produce a series of multi-sensory experiences enriched by open mic, music and dance.
