LET’S TALK ABOUT RAPE Coming Soon – August 2026
Created with survivors. Co-authored by survivors.
Let's Talk About Rape® was created by photographer Jadwiga Brontē in collaboration with survivors of sexual violence from around the world. Recognised as co-authors, they wrote their testimonies in their own languages and created their own self-portraits as acts of resilience, agency and reclaiming their narratives.
Bringing together women from diverse countries, cultures, faiths, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds, the book is a collective challenge to the silence and stigma surrounding sexual violence. It reflects the reality that sexual violence knows no borders and affects people across every society.
Featuring testimonies in 11 languages, each story is presented in its original language alongside an English translation, preserving the authenticity, voice and authorship of every contributor.

Invisible People of Belarus BUY HERE £35
Invisible People of Belarus is a photobook accompanied by critical reflections and testimonies documenting the lives of disabled people and Chernobyl victims living in governmental institutions in Belarus. These institutions are known as internats and function as something between an orphanage, asylum, and hospice.
Internats often exhibit glaring deficiencies in the way they care for residents: very little physical or educational therapy is offered; opportunities for recreational activities are limited; and the right to private life is not respected, with romantic relationships between residents prohibited. Integration within the local community is virtually non-existent. Their remote locations make it difficult for families to visit. Some internats are situated in rural areas with almost no public transport links. All internats are either fenced off or walled. This separation stands as a metaphor for the way disability is perceived in Belarus: misunderstood and hidden away.
Through her use of intimate imagery, developed during extended periods spent in internats, Brontē allows the reader to encounter lives that are often hidden. Her 30 photographs, comprising portraiture, architectural photography, and documentation of residents’ creative work, are book-ended by two sections of writing.
In the first section, Brontē reflects on her reasons for focusing on the lives of internat residents and on her personal connection to the project. An anonymous NGO worker with decades of experience working in internats examines the institutional, governmental, and cultural contexts that allow for their existence. Finally, an essay by writer Michael Thomason considers the potential of Brontē’s work to contribute towards a more equitable place for difference — one not confined behind fences. With kind permission from Nobel Prize-winning author Svetlana Alexievich, testimonies from Chernobyl survivors are reproduced throughout the essay to ask what we might learn from communities similarly abandoned by the state.
Following the photographs, testimonies from the mothers of people residing in internats allow the reader to explore the difficult decisions parents often make — frequently under duress — to give their children away. Also included are testimonies from two internat residents reflecting on their lives there, as well as commentary from the Director of the Institute of Radiation Safety in Belarus.
Limited first edition of 500 copies. All books are blind embossed and hand numbered.
The book is bilingual in English and Russian. The hardback edition is bound in classic black fabric, with the title hot-stamped in vinyl. The English title appears on the front cover and the Russian title on the back.
