Jasmeen Patheja, Hemangini Gupta Fear as Experienced by Women in Their Cities
Blank Noise is a volunteer led community arts collective based in India that addresses the issue of street sexual violence/“eve teasing.” http://blog.blanknoise.org is a living, growing, and evolving document of the project. Besides being an announcement space, it also creates room for debates and discussions centered around women’s experiences of their cities. It also invites the women to be Action Heroes by sharing testimonials of street sexual violence as experienced by them. Their stories of everyday street resistance are archived at this blog http://actionheroes.blanknoise.org A substantial part of the project has been devoted to documenting women’s responses to the city. These responses are shaped by ways in which women imagine themselves and link inextricably back to notions of “acceptable,” often “feminine” or “feminised” behavior and that which is believed to be unreconcilable with this femininity. Fear—that which is experienced when one senses danger. Danger is that which causes harm. Cities and its public spaces have typically been unsafe and dangerous for women. The city is comprised of strangers and “strange bodies.” Strange bodies are constantly coping with the presence of another alien body. The victim’s body has a memory that has been transferred through the act of re-telling, re-interpreting, and hence re-building the notion of the victimized self. This part of the presentation explores the anxiety filled body. The anxious body is alert, is on guard, and in defense. Regular everyday objects are transformed into weapons of defense. The anxious body is either highly visible, invisible, or camouflaged.
