It’s the sickening question so many rape survivors are asked and sadly, one they torture themselves over. It’s also the name of a powerful new exhibition in Brussels, aiming at dispelling these myths around rape.

The harrowing exhibition, “What were you wearing?” recreates 18 exact outfits worn by people when they were sexually assaulted. Each is displayed with a quote from the rape survivor.

“I was so confused that all I wanted to do was leave my brother’s room and go back to watching the cartoon,” reads one, next to a small blue kids t-shirt with a rainbow printed on it.

“My stepfather would abuse me after school before my mother came home,” reads another next to a school outfit.

“I had my police uniform on and was armed. It didn’t make any difference,” another says, next to an officer’s uniform.

There are also tracksuit bottoms, pajamas and dresses.

Project manager Yasmina El Moutouk told BBC, victims were often asked by the courts, family and friends what they were wearing.

“The victim feels guilty because she asks herself, what do you mean by ‘what were you wearing that day?’”

“It’s as if we are making her responsible for what happened and so she becomes both the assaulter and the victim.

The exhibition is being held from Jan. 8 until the 20th at the Maritime Community Centre in Molenbeek.

«Во что ты была одета?» — в Петербурге готовятся к выставке мирового уровня

Проект What were you wearing посвящен проблеме насилия над женщинами и реализован в 50 странах. В России выставка впервые состоится в феврале 2020 года.

Дата открытия выставки выбрана символическая – 14 февраля. Подготовкой к событию занимаются блогер Инна Боярова и визуальный антрополог Лиза Светлова. Свою помощь общественным активисткам могут оказать и все неравнодушные жители города.

Петербурженки вступили во всемирную социальную франшизу проекта и получили разрешение на его реализацию в Санкт-Петербурге, а вместе с ним все необходимые инструменты: установочный пакет на разных языках, макеты и гайдлайны. Еще одно обязательное требование – соблюдение морально-этических правил и техники безопасности всемирной выставки. В Международный день борьбы за ликвидацию насилия над женщинами, 25 ноября, Лиза Светлова и Инна Боярова запустили проект в Instagram. Теперь это основной канал продвижения «Во что ты была одета?» в России, а также платформа для общения с потенциальными участниками и теми, кого эта тема касается напрямую.

«Сейчас мы определяемся с площадкой, которая будет подходить нам по всем параметрам, главный из них – возможность создать безопасную атмосферу для общения. Кроме того, общаемся со спикерами, дорабатываем образовательную программу. Она будет состоять как из классического формата лекций и круглого стола, мини-конференции, так и из арт-активностей, потому что главный тезис выставки «Искусство – важнейшая форма трансляции смыслов».

«Не так давно мы познакомились с идеологами проекта лично и планируем поучаствовать в выставке: выступим с лекцией или станем спикерами на одном из круглых столов. Любые высказывания в поддержку женщин, пострадавших от насилия, и увеличение объема видимости этой проблемы важны: будь то пост в соцсети или масштабная инфокампания. У нас самих был опыт осмысления проблемы посредством искусства — выставка коллажей «О чем молчат женщины». Искусство работает с визуальными образами, которые без лишних метафор воздействуют на аудиторию. Вот – одежда, вот – история. Именно поэтому подобные проекты, которые появились в России и в мире далеко не впервые, очень популярны. Так, немногим ранее блогер Гузель Леман запустила в Instagram флешмоб #ОсобеннойОдеждыНет и создала сайт, на котором рассказываются истории пострадавших женщин. И мы уверены, что это не последние проекты, посвященные одежде. И все их важно реализовывать и поддерживать, говорить о них, как минимум до тех пор, пока в обществе не перестанут транслировать стереотип о том, что определенная одежда влияет на случаи насилия», – поделился мнением Борис Конаков, PR-специалист Кризисного центра для женщин.

С интересом и поддержкой проект встретили в соцсетях: пользователи из разных стран и регионов отмечают, что ждали этого события, делятся своими историями. Занимаясь выставкой, Инне и Лизе приходится ежедневно сталкиваться с человеческими трагедиями.

Более детальная информация об открытии выставки появится в феврале будущего года. Все желающие могут поддержать проект, поделившись информацией о нем. Активистки ищут для проекта новые истории, партнеров и экспертов, кроме того, они открыли счет для помощи проекту, собранные средства пойдут на организационные нужды выставки.

a cyberpunk fashion show

In the recent past, we underwent changes in the way we interact with others and the environment.

The global pandemic has triggered an economic and sanitary crisis, with extreme mobility controls, social distancing and corporations pressuring governments. We now find ourselves into a classic cyberpunk scenario. The virtualization of social interaction has gone deeper and settled into a mixed reality that pushes us to configure our meta-identity.

These circumstances made us develop new habits and modalities that directly affect all areas of life, including our appearance on digital excursions. This pavilion brings together the work of artists who explores fashion not only as a way of expressing style but also as a study of artificial personality.

What are you wearing for? it is not only an invitation to fantasize, but also to reflect on the impact of these sudden changes in societal behavior. What was once science fiction has become our contemporary existence.
