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.
