“Turns assumptions about sexual assault on their head.”
–RAINN Rape and Incest National Network

This short project utilizes everyday consumer technologies to blur body binaries—simplistic, either/or conceptions of gender and sexuality—that have traditionally relegated many to silence and shame. In 2012, in light of the U.S. Department of Justice’s gender-neutral redefinition of rape, RAINN, the Rape and Incest National Network, adopted I knew him… as part of a revamped male sexual assault education campaign online.
