Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.

About
WE SPEAK VOLUMES.
The sole purpose of WE SPEAK VOLUMES is to be the bridge between wonderful artistry and awaiting audiences. Indianapolis is the city that we call home, so we want to do everything in our power to make it better.
Sometimes we create the events where we see a void.. Sometimes we find awesome events that just need a little push, so we will assist in their promotions to get the word out..
Our organization started one night at a poetry open mic a few years ago, and has continued to grow. If you enjoy spoken word poetry, soul music and REAL hiphop, you will want to check in with us on a regular basis as we shed light on what's going on in this circular city of ours.
If you know about something going on in Indianapolis that is NOT listed on our beautiful calendar of upcoming events, please feel free to send us information: WeSpeakVolumes@gmail.com
Please keep in mind that we may not be able to post every event that you submit, but as long it meets certain parameters, we will do our best.

WE SPEAK INNOVATION.
Tim Knowles - Tree Drawings (2006)
Artist’s statement:
“A series of drawings produced using drawing implements attached to the tips of tree branches, the wind’s effects on the tree recorded on paper.
Like signatures each drawing reveals the different qualities and characteristics of each tree.”
