How do we start an open conversation about something so uncomfortable, incomprehensible, painful as rape? How do we relate the self with failed love? These are the questions that we would like to exploit in an installation art performance comprised of photography, sound, and embodied movement. The art installation will comprise photographs of body parts of various individuals, sound recordings and embodied Theremin sounds. The performance expresses a powerful dance and movement following the Theremin sounds engaging the audience to participate in the end of silence. The whole piece seeks through enraging artistic activism and participation, to explore everyday life sexism and rape culture to gain a new kind of awareness. We want to ask the audience the question: how far would you go? And the following questions: How far would you let someone take over your

2 body? How far would you participate in the instance of harassment by sole watching? How far would you let your silence prevail? Mutilation of Femininity, Masculinity, Queerness and Everything in Between initiates a conversation about rape culture and harassment. It does not only function as an outcry of solidarity but it instigates questions such as the weight of gender regarding harassment, how society views different gender roles in different contexts of the roles abuser and victim in an instant of harassment or rape; pleasure in contexts of rape and harassment; the self and its psyche in the middle of such situations - for instance triggers of rage, rejection, low self-esteem, power relations; the effects of former abusive situations.

5 vision om Mødet, Mulighederne og Mangfoldigheden? Og hvordan har dit projekt KANt? Hvordan formidles projektet til offentligheden? objective of fomenting questions within the audience in relation to these aspects. We have not the ambition of sensibilizing them regarding rape or harassment culture but we rather wish they would question themselves and they would relate themselves to such situations/practices. The only transformation we envision, is the one of reflection and introspection and collective awareness. We have designed an experience based in our study and observations of such culture and we wish to converse with the audience through different mediums. We have been studying rape culture in Aalborg for instance where we have noted through analysing statistics from the voldtægtsforsøg that 3 out of 4 women do not report sexual abuse situations to the police, or that in 2015 there has been 300 cases of rape reported by women. More related to Aalborg are for instance some cases that took place during the Aalborg Karnival where there were 5 cases reported this year. We reflect upon the reasons why we keep seeing these numbers and why they keep happening. But also, how to involve the public in reflection on such social problems? Not in a moral way but in a reflexive kind of way because we do not hold absolute truths. Furthermore, we would like to invite a broad audience with a wide age range from 15 + and by participating in such festivals as Aalborg Surreal which has a free entrance admission and ENDINGS which has a 40 DKK symbolic price, we expect to get a diverse public. The placement of these festivals is quite accessible being at the heart of Aalborg centrum which facilitates the events visibility. Through an installation art performance open to the public which will be exhibited in two festivals in Aalborg, the ENDINGS Performance Art Festival at Bloody Milk and ArtBreak Hotel Galleries and Aalborg Surreal at Huset taking place in December Budget og finansieringsplan Indtægter: Støtte fra Ud-over-KANten- Puljen xxx No other funding
