The Awakenings Foundation—the home of the only known collection of rape-survivor artwork—has announced its first curated exhibit, “Graphic Relief,” which will feature international comic book, graphic novel and zine media artists who deal with the topic of street harassment.
There is an open call for art until January 2016 and all artists are welcome to submit, regardless of survivor identity, as long as works speak to the topic.
The Awakenings Foundation exists to help survivors of sexual assault heal through the creative arts. This exhibit will open up our mission to a wider community of artists and patrons by tackling the epidemic of street harassment and catcalling, which has been thrust into a spotlight in recent digital and social media.
