Description: "[This is] a collaboration between The Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHA) and Interference Archive (IA). The inspiration for this exhibition came from conversations between members of the organizing committee about contemporary movements for public visibility of sexual assault, rape, and gender violence. Our goal was to represent collective action against sexual assault historically, and situate contemporary activism within that complex narrative." -- From the introduction
