“We discussed experiences rooted in misogyny and patriarchy, which had left a ‘sick’, unforgotten feeling. We learnt to recognise, identify and articulate personal injustices each of us had experienced. This led to I Never Ask For It (INAFI). The projects have led women to recognise our power as women, confront fear, question the environment of warnings and blame, heal and build empathy.”

“The INAFI mission brings together clothes that women wore when they experienced violence. The mission of 10,000 garments as witness, memory and voice is a work in progress. I am motivated by what it would take for the garments to be 10,000 testimonials and am committed to building long-term approaches towards this. Our practice is continuously responding to the current climate by creating vibrant spaces for people to question, express and articulate what they feel.”
