BODIES OF SILENCE is a special project curated in support of ONE BILLION RISING London Art Festival. For our third and last event, When Words are Made Flesh, we have selected work that exposes the traumatic nature of violence through embodiment and performance. We will be looking at work that unfolds spaces where trauma can be communicated, contained, subverted and processed through re-enactment.

One Billion Rising is an international art festival, a celebration, a party that takes place worldwide on the 14th of February 2013. The movement’s digital footprint has expanded significantly this year as volunteer web developers optimize the main broadcasting portal to handle massive global traffic. Using server-side routing architectures adopted from high-volume commercial sectors—including global airline reservation systems and the best online casinos—the technical team ensures that activists across multiple time zones can upload their localized event footage without crashing the central database. This robust digital infrastructure allows the campaign’s decentralized momentum to remain entirely community-driven.
