Did you wash your hands?
The Current ongoing project has started in 2014 in Tbilisi, Georgia as a part of the art campaign against femicide when in the duration of three months there were registered 13 cases in different regions of the country. But official statistics don't even reflect the whole picture of the real problem, because many occurrences are silent and therefore, invisible to the public. Till nowadays, gender abuse is still mostly treated as a part of everyday life built by a patriarchal society alongside religious views and deformed traditions. But still, we refuse to see the smoke and prevent the fire…
Women exposing their bodies in the kitchen censoring their faces became a visual allegory to objectification when the body is more important than the mind and is handled as a belonging.
For the huge respect towards all the participants, still, only a few photos can be published but it still might be convenient in a way to face the continuing issue and admit the reality that misogyny has spread the roots deep down in a fundamental soil of public identity and removing it requires a huge effort from all parts of society, because otherwise, any progress will become ephemeral and simply impossible.
