Overview
"Gathered here, in a collection of narratives, is a personal reflection on the post-traumatic lived experience of survivors of sexual violence. Chosen Permanence challenges the portrayal of sexual violence that centers rape, by offering an incisive look at what is achieved when survivors are provided a safe space to speak up. The decorative but necessary elements of this project include: first-person narration that is applied to every story as a way for survivors to stand as one in an anonymous manner, and a tattoo component made as an offering from Genesis Cubilette to all survivors and allies. Each story is paired with a tattoo design, created from elemental properties of each experience. The tattoos are extended to both survivors and readers as a tool to reclaim their stories in a way that should live in their bodies as permanently as the trauma they've endured." -- Abstract
