Art can elucidate felt experiences of trauma in visual, embodied ways that are not possible through spoken and written language alone. How do artists make use of their own bodies to make visible internal, often invisible, lived realities of violence and survival? This talk will consider a range of interdisciplinary work from women and non-binary artists.
