Structures of Unfeeling is a performative learning environment that intends to use the exhibition format for the formation of a public culture around sexualised violence. Bringing together a diverse group of practitioners from the fields of contemporary art, education, music, performance, dramaturgy, and academia, who have all in different ways been impacted and inscribed by histories of sexualised violence, Structures of Unfeeling aims to collaboratively find form and voice for the generally unspeakable and unrepresentable nature of sexual trauma. By means of spatial interventions, works of art, a reader, an open-access archive and printing room, seminars with architecture students, a symposium, workshops, and a programme of concerts, night vigils, film screenings, and lectures, the exhibition format provides a diverse and comprehensive environment to foster conversation, collective thinking and making, and a discursive framework to encounter the topic of sexualised violence through aesthetic, material, embodied, and theoretical means.
