The Death of You and Me – When Words Go Missing
Emily Wiethorn
Friday, March 22 - 12:00PM to 1:00PM
Majestic B
How do you tell a story with no beginning, middle, or end? Trauma comes in waves. I used to think it was all at once, like jumping into the ocean. But instead of crashing into me, it laps at my ankles. How do trauma and imprisonment change our understanding of ourselves? How does the trauma we suffer change those close to us? This work is a place to ask questions of myself, my assailant, and a society that perpetuates violence. The images question time, duration, and trust within ourselves. Can we trust those around us? Can we trust our own memories?
