Cicatrizes invisíveis: exposição virtual artístico-informativa sobre violência psicológica contra a mulher em relações heterossexuais

Abstract

Violence against women is a social problem that affects women in all contexts, including the intimate sphere of their affective relationships, especially in heterosexual relationships, where they are subjected to various forms of violence. In these relationships, psychological violence is among the most practiced forms of violence, causing serious damage to the mental health of victims. In this context, this work aims to develop a virtual exhibition with an educational focus, called Cicatrizes Invisíveis, with drawings, texts, and audios about psychological violence against women in heterosexual relationships, with the aim of disseminating knowledge about this theme, promoting reflection, identification, understanding of abusive relationship scenarios, and favoring the fight against violence against women. To build this work, research was initially conducted on the theme of violence against women, virtual exhibitions, and graphic representation through drawings, from which the necessary knowledge was obtained to build the exhibition. Then, drawings were produced with representations of scenarios involving the psychological violence practices addressed. Subsequently, a website was built as a means of presenting the materials produced. In the future, the project is intended to be expanded with exhibitions on other forms of violence, as well as the transformation of the exhibition into a film and the production of physical material in the form of booklets.
