The general idea of the performance is my personal response to our rape culture that encourages victim blaming. I would like to research and explore the topic of victimization further and want to go beyond sexual assault and address the wider culture of victim blaming.

A Dark Blue Daffodil Is a work in progress and is strongly influenced by my own and other women’s life experience. I have dedicated a lot of time on researching Brock Turner’s case, the tendency of courts to excuse a perpetrator’s behaviour when he does not fit their preconceptions of what a rapist looks and acts like, all the while the victim’s traumatic experience is ignored or even blamed upon them.

Part of the ‘Get Yourself Inside’ event.
