The Violence of Female Trouble(s)

Female trouble is a body work, focusing on the juxtaposition of beauty with the ugly image of violence. This comparison provides a very psychological aspect, one that forces a person to question the concept of beauty and the place of violence, particularly in sexuality. News coverage in the past years has increasingly focused on LGBT violence. For this journal we wanted to look at a few different articles about Queer violence/injustice. The articles that were used are:

http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2011/07/12/LGBT_Violence_Up_Significantly/

After reading this articles we decided to create our own video using the words from these articles and some images from female trouble.
