1.0 rich Street Art Cities https://streetartcities.com Often in mainstream media, sexual violence is depicted from the perspective of the harasser. Articles on sexual harassment are frequently accompanied by stock photos of a woman holding up her hands in resistance, almost as if inviting viewers to adopt the perspective of the harasser. POV: you are sexually assaulting someone. There is also a huge emphasis on resisting, it begs the question with survivors: ‘did I do enough to stop my assault? Was it my fault?’ When this is the only way sexual violence is visualised, this becomes the only truth. A unempathetic, guild-ridden truth.So much is wrong with these one dimensional interpretations. I think a change of perspective is necessary.This mural is a part of that change of perspective. I want to change to way sexual violence is depicted and make work that is empathetic to survivors, without guilt, but still showing the impact of it. https://streetart.media/d/dd873193-62f1-4629-859c-257f696926ce/1024.jpg 1024 480 480 <iframe src="https://streetartcities.com/markers/129e11a0-abaa-4dd6-968d-5d4001ebb36b/embed" width="480" height="480" style="border:none;border-radius:12px;max-width:100%;" loading="lazy" allow="fullscreen; storage-access" title="The impact of sexual assault by VAAF"></iframe> 3600
