♱⟡˙⋆This piece is a part of HAGIOGRAPHY, a digital collection of works by Guest Curator Arianna Muñoz. HAGIOGRAPHY explores the concept of the virginal, martyred girl-saint - why are we drawn to the aestheticised ‘sad girl’? Who gets the ‘privilege’ of performing this girl-saint role, and how do those outside that ideal reject or challenge it? ⋆˙⟡ ♱

“This work is an excerpt of a much larger whole written in response to rape culture within so-called “revolutionary” milieus. The pseudonymous author, Io, found herself an unwilling martyr in an unsympathetic crowd. This chapter of the larger manifesto is focused specifically on the idea of the Sacred in the tradition of Simone Weil and its absence in collectives.
