abstract="This article has evolved from an exhibition produced with PROOF: Media for Social Justice entitled &quot;My Body Is a War Zone,&quot; which was part of a larger project (&quot;Legacy of Rape&quot;) consisting of stories from women in four postconflict regions. Drawing on interviews conducted with women in Santa Marta, Colombia, in May 2012 and January 2017, I explore the use of testimony, photography, and exhibition as a means of empowering survivors to become activists. Using the Colombian example, I argue that such exhibitions can transform national and public dialogue by engaging audiences on a personal and emotional level.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
