Abstract: Since October 2017 Lily Clifford and Emma Nagouse have been collaborating to produce a body of artwork based around narratives of rape in the Bible. By focusing on Dinah, Clifford and Nagouse have used their complementary skills and knowledge to create several artworks dealing not only with Dinah’s rape, but cultural responses to Dinah, and rape culture more broadly.
In this presentation, Clifford and Nagouse talk through Clifford’s portfolio of artwork – you can view or download this here.
This talk was delivered at the 2018 Religion and Rape Culture Conference. Click here to see more videos.
