Envisioning Vulnerability and Safety Otherwise: Artivist knowledge on gender-based violence in Mexico
Project disclaimer
Description
"This project uses participatory, arts-based research methods to build knowledge in collaboration with a diverse collection of artivists working against GBV. We do this in pursuit of two specific but interlocking aims. First, we will produce new insights into the diversity of experiences of GBV, and into everyday resistance strategies. This will include recognition of the specific vulnerabilities that anti-GBV activists experience in Mexico, where their work often puts them at risk of violence. Second, explore artivism’s power to break the mould of dominant ways of thinking about GBV, and to imagine new possibilities for understanding and generating safety outside of the limiting criminal justice frameworks provided by the state. By addressing the limitations of the current state-focused approach in Mexico, this project aims to create new ways of addressing GBV that can be implemented in multiple contexts, and therefore contribute to sustainable development in Mexico.
Objectives
To use photovoice, and zine making, that willl allow project team to make significant contributions both within and beyond academia. Academic outputs will make a significant contribution to scholarship on GBV and on the use of arts-based methods. Empirically, the team will create knowledge about intersectionally-mediated experiences of everyday vulnerabilities to GBV in Mexico, and about how people navigate and resist these in order to maximise their safety. In addition, they will develop arguments about how we might think outside of conventional assumptions to imagine a world without GBV. The contributions will be of interest to scholars of politics, social movement studies, gender studies, Latin American studies, and art studies.
