Join us for this gallery reception for In This Space: Disrupted, and listen to speakers talk about their involvement in, and the importance of, the exhibit. Speeches will begin at approximately 6:15PM. Visitors are welcome to explore the exhibit following the speeches.

In This Space: Disrupted focuses on geographies of space and violence. Like many rape myths, the process of associating certain locations (or people) with violence can otherize victims and survivors whose experiences do not match with the public narrative. Both Hollaback! and harassmap have focused on naming public locations in which harassment occurs, and our hope is that this exhibit will call into question the public  and  private locations of trauma.  We hope it instills awareness in viewers and is a call to action that challenges static narratives so that survivors may be supported in all spaces.

In This Space: Disrupted is organized and sponsored by the Women’s Center, Survivor Advocacy Program, Health Promotion, Ohio University Art Galleries, Ohio Women, Ohio University Alumni Association, and with support from Counseling and Psychological Services.
