Visualizing Sexual Assault

Yana Mazurkevich, a student from Ithaca College in New York, has created a powerful photo series about sexual assault in the wake of Brock Turner’s release. It’s Mazurkevich’s second project in relation to Turner; her first was called Dear Brock Turner. Both are visually powerful, if not in fact disturbing.
I’ve been thinking about how to bring these images into the classroom, and I think the first place that I would start is Torie Rose DeGhett’s “The War Photo No One Would Publish,” which is centered on a similarly powerful and disturbing image and its censored circulation. I want students to be acutely aware of the power of images, their circulation, and the ways in which they are carefully controlled. I would pair DeGhett with one of the essays that touch on feminism and sexual assault, probably Julia Serano’s “Why Nice Guys Finish Last,” which most directly addresses rape culture.
I think this would be a productive and potent pairing. You might want to consider exploring it for your class.
