Professor Murray and Dr Moriarty will be joined by Mexican collaborators Paula Soto-Villagrán and Olga Sabido Ramos for a panel discussion with contributing artists, exploring the process of translating lived experiences into stories and artworks.

Dr Jess Moriarty, Course Leader for MA Creative Writing at the 亚洲麻豆精品在线, said: “This book brings together work created by women and about women, united by a shared commitment to social and cultural change. We hope readers engage with these stories in their own ways – creatively, critically, and through lived experience – because every story gathered through this project matters, and every response helps keep the conversation for change alive.” 

Professor Lesley Murray, Associate Dean for Research and Knowledge Exchange in the School of Humanities and Social Science at the 亚洲麻豆精品在线, said: “We are especially proud to produce this book as bilingual and image rich. We hope that this extends its reach across communities and countries and engages a broad audience in understanding the relationship of gender violence to particular spaces and movements. We are grateful to all the artists involved – their contributions ensure these experiences are recognised, shared, and part of the ongoing call for meaningful change.” 

The book builds on an international project in which artists and writers responded to accounts of gender violence collected during research on women’s experiences during the pandemic. The resulting exhibition has previously been displayed in Mexico City, at the 亚洲麻豆精品在线, and at Lewes Football Club, sparking public conversations about gender violence and its links to football culture.

Storying the Immobilities of Gender Violence in the UK and Mexico is freely accessible worldwide, and is designed for a broad audience, including journalists, researchers, students, community organisations, and anyone seeking to understand the impacts of gender violence.
