Art, Activism, and Sexual Violence
Highlights the role of creative expression in exposing, preventing, and combatting sexual violence.
Since 2017 the #MeToo movement has expanded cultural awareness of the pervasiveness of sexual assault and tacit support for rape culture in the United States and beyond. Despite its ubiquity, sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes in the world in part because of the mistreatment and misunderstanding survivors often face from their communities and the legal system.
Art, Activism, and Sexual Violence brings together creative work, in multiple genres, with analyses of the historical and cultural contexts of sexual violence from intersectional feminist perspectives. Together, contributors illuminate the power of artists—as victims, survivors, and allies—to combat sexual violence through creative expression in partnership with historians, anthropologists, sociologists, journalists, and gender scholars. Showcasing dance, textile arts, painting, new media images, drama, and other creative forms, this volume embraces artistic expression's transformative potential and inspires readers to action, mutual recognition, resistance, and resilience.
Gender, Violence, Art, and the Viewer
An Intervention
Edited by Ellen C. Caldwell, Cynthia S. Colburn, and Ella J. Gonzalez
“Gender Violence, Art, and the Viewer addresses an array of themes and will be useful to museum curators, students, and educators in gender studies, art history, classics studies, fine arts, and more. It lends momentum to a ‘public reckoning’ in art history to account for how violence against women and minority groups and sexual violence are glorified in revered works and are too often left unaddressed in studies of prominent artists throughout history.”—Mahaliah Little, University of California, Irvin
