Project Unbreakable AGAINST SEXUAL ABUSE

martedì 28 febbraio 2012
"In October of last year, Grace Brown began a photography project called Project Unbreakable. Grace uses photography to help heal sexual abuse survivors by photographing them with posters that hold quotes from their attackers. Rape survivor and advocate for victims of sexual abuse, Yvonne Moss, describes the project as a way for victims to take the power back of the words that were once used against them.
Grace plans on photographing survivors for as long as she possibly can. Her goal is to spread light, awareness, and healing for those who have been affected."

I think this project has inside the amazing power of art. Art is NOT ONLY beauty or a thing that makes us enjoy life, it could be a shock to make our eyes open. Some years ago on a famous film, a blind man returned normal and refind the details of ordinary things. He was walking on a street and some beggars and poor people were asking some money or food, but ALL THE PEOPLE busy working & passing by, ignoring them, simply. He returned home ask about this behaviour to his girlfriend and said:

"it could be better to be blind, when i couldn't see anything at all. The worst is choose what we want to see and leave the rest in the dark"

I'm not sure if these were his words, but the meaning was right. This project can make us see what society and good manners want us NOT see & PRETEND DIDN'T HAPPEN.

some photos to make you understand:
