COLLECTIVE CAREConfronting harm is an expression of community care. This gallery is tented with affirmations of healing and personal accounts of sexual violence from The Monument Quilt—the most well-known community project created by the artist and activist collective called FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture. Each quilt honors and centers the voices of many survivors and their allies. The six quilts on view are among the more than 750 quilts containing statements written, painted, and stitched onto red fabric squares. The Monument Quilt toured the United States and Mexico from 2013 to 2019, publicly displaying these stories to construct a culture of consent. An example of one such presentation is pictured in the image at right, when The Monument Quilt was shown in its entirety on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in 2019 for its final complete installation.Please be aware that many of these accounts contain details about sexual and intimate partner violence, and the stories may be overwhelming. FORCE and The Monument Quilt represent a massive collective effort from an extraordinary number of passionate artists, activists, healers, and visionaries from around the world. Together, they create public art interventions to expose and disrupt rape culture. Based in Baltimore and Mexico City, FORCE was founded by Hannah Brancato and Rebecca Nagle. The Staff Collective is currently led by Mora Fernández and Shanti Flagg. Past members of the FORCE Staff Collective include Saida Agostini, Elif Cadoux, Charnell Covert, Tyde-Courtney Edwards, Robin Marquis, and Maia Owen. A volunteer leadership team guided FORCE’s work on The Monument Quilt, including: Luz Aranda, Kate Bishop, Jane Brown, Teonia Burton, Amrita Dang, Liz Ensz, Alexis Flanagan, Rachel Gilmer, Greg Grey Cloud, Kiara James, Lorena Kourousias, Amber Melvin, Winter Miller, Morgan Meneses-Sheets, Lubia Nuñez-Montelongo, JP Przewoznik, Brittany Oliver, Ignacio Rivera, Etai Rogers-Fett, Jann Rosen-Queralt, Leigh Ann Sham, Jacob Simpson, Shameeka Smalling, Adrienne Spires, Jadelynn Stahl, and Kalima Young.
