#FeministArtFeature: Let’s Talk About Rape (lets_talk_about_rape) by jadwiga_bronte 📷

Across more than 40 countries, survivors have turned the camera toward themselves — creating an unprecedented archive of self-portraits and testimonies, that challenge the silence surrounding rape. 

The archive reveals the staggering universality of sexual violence: survivors of every age, gender identity, background, and geography. Some recount assaults dismissed by institutions meant to protect them. Others describe the lifelong echo of violence that their communities urged them to hide. Collectively, the project becomes a form of resistance and offers a pathway to repair. 

”In dialogue with feminist visual traditions—think Jo Spence and Ana Mendieta—Brontē’s project carves its own terrain. It is deeply contemporary, shaped by digital intimacy and global connection, yet grounded in a timeless demand: to be seen, to be believed, to be free.” - Alessia Glaviano,  Head of Global PhotoVogue and Director of the Photo Vogue Festival.
