How do stories about sexualized violence come about? Why do they often draw on a pool of stereotypical role models? What effect can this have on systemic violence against women? And how can rape myths and power dynamics be broken up and new narratives established?
As part of the exhibition Laia Abril . On Rape - And Institutional Failure, experts will talk about how sexualized violence is portrayed and reflected in the German media. They not only reflect on the status quo and possible alternatives, but also provide insights into their experiences as media makers.
In cooperation with the MaLisa Foundation.
