“I don’t know how your mind changes after being raped,” says Annie Flanagan when asked about the mental impact of their college rape. They continue, “that’s fucking impossible for me to pinpoint and not so simple for words.” But, as artists, we turn our pain into creativity. So, to process their trauma, Annie picked up the camera. Looking to connect with people who shared a story similar to theirs, they began the project, Deafening Sound. Following the lives of women recovering from abuse, they highlight a reality that is difficult to digest. But this is important work and something many of us can learn from.
