The purpose of "It’s OK to say NOT OK" is to raise the awareness of the issue of domestic violence towards women happening around the world right now, and the participants will be able to have a first-person perspective of the victim with a storyline of them when they are trying our installation.
"90% of child sexual abuse victims know their abuser"
People despise sexual crimes that happen in the family.
There just a few people realize that even family members can harm young women in their homes.
We hold the PD workshop of three different groups which include local and non-local university student, also local mum in Hong Kong. Though these workshops, we found that the participants in the third group(adults mum) are obviously more sensitive and hesitate to the topic of domestic violence/ sexual abuse. This affects how we design to let women seek help.
How to let the Audience
feel the same way?
感同身受？
I always keep this question on my mind.
It's because I think to make people "feel the same way" is not an easy thing. The audience is easy to sympathy but just to the case which they saw in the newspaper.
How can we bring them into those stories and
stand in the same angle with those victims?
An idea pop-up on my mind. The heat and image generated by the projector can produce an alternative "sympathy"!
The installation is created with a combination of a projector and a touch sensor, the animation story of the projection is created with a cartoon style to show a first-person perspective story to the participants. After watching the animation, the participants will receive a souvenir called baseline reminding them to never say ok to any violence.
