PROJECT

Grief becomes disenfranchised when there is a lack of communal and societal recognition, along with an absence of public support in mourning practices or rituals in case of non-death loss such as sexual violence.

Out of their own experience, François Vincent and Anse Kuyl, want to create ‘Archive des Petites Morts’, a space where their own acts of mourning and those of others can exist and be witnessed. In this archive they want to include themes like the friction in between presence/absence, losing/gaining, past/future, remembering/memory loss, object/objectified body, felt in the aftermath of sexual violence.
