This proposal follows on from the project 'The Immobilities of gender-based violence in the Covid 19 pandemic' in generating impact and engagement by communicating and its findings and creating opportunities to deliberate them for new and international audiences. The original project demonstrated that GBV occurs in a 'continuum of mobile space' in which women are im/mobilised in different ways. This was highlighted by the isolations and intensifications of spaces as a result of constrained movement during the Covid 19 pandemic. We showed that storying reveals new knowledge of GBV that has relevance beyond the pandemic. We found that the im/mobilities of the Covid 19 pandemic and lockdowns created spaces for reflection on GBV throughout lifetimes. Stories that conveyed the 'felt' experience of GBV engaged readers in the apparently 'mundane' as well as 'more serious' aspects of GBV. Nevertheless, policy and public engagement tends to be informed primarily by the quantitative analysis of crime statistics, which are fundamentally flawed in representing a genuine picture of the felt/lived experiences of GBV. There is an urgent need to acknowledge the value of qualitative accounts of GBV - both by the general public and policymakers and practitioners (e.g. police and transport providers) in seeking to transform the landscape of GBV. This includes accounts that are often absent from the public domain - of minoritised communities within which GBV may be more commonplace.In tandem, discussions of GBV often take place within, rather than across, national borders, despite GBV being a global issue shared (predominantly) by women and girls (including trans women and girls) across the world. Thus, the project will span national borders, sharing stories across continents and building new international partnerships. We seek to engage new audiences in both the UK and Mexico, a country that has both faced high levels of GBV and where GBV is collectively challenged through policy interventions and highly visible campaigning. Trans-national deliberations, supported with engaging multi-sensory storying, can unlock the pervading cultural conditions that facilitate GBV. By adopting a trans-national approach we can begin transform the landscapes of GBV, challenging cultures rooted in misogyny. We do so by focusing on trans-sensory storying, which we propose here as a new concept in framing GBV storying and as a new and method of engagement that provides a pathway to impact. The trans-sensory stories of GBV will be translated into diverse and connected sensory outputs and used to elicit dialogue. We invite artists and creative writers in the UK and Mexico to translate stories of GBV into original creative outputs - sound art, comic stories, short stories, poems, dioramas - for interactive exhibitions in Brighton and Mexico City. We will engage new audiences - purposefully focusing on groups who might normally disengage from this topic - including members of the general public, but also academics, community groups, policymakers and practitioners whose primary interest is not GBV, with the trans-sensory stories and invite them to take part in Roundtables - facilitated discussion groups with a clear purpose and intended outcomes. The trans-sensory outputs of the project will be brought together in an edited collection, which will be made accessible to the general public by avoiding complex academic language and using illustrations. The exhibition will be made available as a physical and digital resource for future display.

该提案是“新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情中性别暴力的不动性”项目的后续，通过传播其调查结果并创造机会让新的和国际受众审议这些调查结果来产生影响和参与。最初的项目表明，性别暴力发生在“连续的移动的空间”中，妇女以不同的方式被固定/动员。新型冠状病毒疫情期间，活动受限导致空间隔离和密集化，突显了这一点。我们发现，故事揭示了GBV的新知识，其相关性超出了流行病。我们发现，新型冠状病毒大流行的不流动性和封锁为终生反思性别暴力创造了空间。传达GBV“感受”体验的故事让读者参与到GBV的“平凡”和“更严肃”的方面。然而，政策和公众参与往往主要通过对犯罪统计数据的定量分析来了解，而这些统计数据在真实反映基于性别的暴力的感受/生活经历方面存在根本性缺陷。迫切需要承认公众、政策制定者和从业人员（如警察和运输提供者）对性别暴力定性描述的价值，以寻求改变性别暴力的格局。这包括公共领域通常不存在的叙述-少数群体社区，在这些社区中，性别暴力可能更为普遍。同时，关于性别暴力的讨论往往发生在国家边界内，而不是跨越国界，尽管性别暴力是世界各地妇女和女孩（包括跨性别妇女和女孩）（主要）共同面临的一个全球性问题。因此，该项目将跨越国界，在各大洲分享故事，并建立新的国际伙伴关系。我们寻求在英国和墨西哥，一个国家，都面临着高水平的GBV和GBV的集体挑战，通过政策干预和高度可见的竞选活动，吸引新的观众。跨国审议，与参与多感官故事的支持，可以解锁普遍的文化条件，促进性别暴力。通过采取跨国方法，我们可以开始改变性别暴力的面貌，挑战根植于厌女症的文化。我们通过关注跨感官故事来做到这一点，我们在这里提出将其作为构建GBV故事的新概念，以及提供影响途径的新参与方法。性别暴力的跨感官故事将被转化为多种多样和相互关联的感官输出，并用于引发对话。我们邀请英国和墨西哥的艺术家和创意作家将GBV的故事翻译成原创创意作品-声音艺术，漫画故事，短篇小说，诗歌，立体模型-在布莱顿和墨西哥城举办互动展览。我们将吸引新的受众-有目的地侧重于通常可能脱离这一主题的群体-包括普通公众，但也包括主要兴趣不是基于性别的暴力的学者、社区团体、政策制定者和从业者，讲述跨感官故事，并邀请他们参加圆桌会议-有明确目的和预期成果的讨论小组。该项目的跨感官产出将汇集在一个编辑的集合中，通过避免复杂的学术语言和使用插图，向公众提供。该展览将作为实物和数字资源提供给未来的展示。
