It is not my fault

A public intervention. In what ways is trauma shared with community? It is not my fault was a performance grappling with symptomatic guilt and self-doubt following sexual trauma. It appeared in the public atrium of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where I sat to write and interrupt the flow of passage from one place to another. My presence sparked questions and complicated conversations about misconceptions of self-blame and confusing emotions following trauma. I wanted these sensitive conversations to illuminate transgressions that exist even in the liberal, accepting environment of at Arts Institution.
