March, 2011. Iceland. Eruption of the Fagradalsfjall volcano. It’s been emitting warning signs for several days. It made the island tremble several times until the ground became unstable and it finally exploded. A few days later, M also exploded. She decided that she had to stop being the only one denouncing the man who used to abuse her as a child. But what happens when we don’t see ourselves as worthy victims?
This project is not solely artistic. We understand arts and culture as social and political tools with which to foster change, as well as provide a critical eye on this type of violence; and we have clear objectives: to create awareness and break the taboos surrounding this universal problem. And so create a safe place where children can be protected.
