2021年3月15日、オーストラリア全土で10万人以上の人々が男女平等と性的暴行被害者のための一連の抗議デモを行った際に構想された作品集『Enough: Artists and writers on gendered violence』。これらの抗議行動は、現在および歴史的な性加害疑惑に対するオーストラリア連邦政府の対応の欠如に対する怒りをきっかけに始まりながら、同時に世界的な抗議活動の一部でもあった。本書は、これらの問題に反応してつくられた、オーストラリアの作家らによる様々な作品がキュレーションされており、その反応は主観的で、詩的で、政治的であり、彼らが取り組む問題と同様に深く個人的である。

本作は、メルボルン大学ビジュアル・アート・センターと独立系出版社Perimeter Editionsがキュレーションする共同出版プロジェクト「CoVA x Perimeter」の一環として刊行されたもの。このプロジェクトは、「ポストナショナル美術史」「フェミニズムとインターセクショナリティ」「アート＋サイエンス」という3つの探求を主題とし、リサーチ・イン・プログレス、アカデミックな対話、アーティストの反応、エッセイにまたがり、多様な新しい視点やレンズを通して学術研究を再構築することに取り組んでいる。

CoVA x Perimeter is a collaborative publishing initiative curated by the Centre of Visual Art at the University of Melbourne and independent publishing house Perimeter Editions. Foregrounding experimental and otherwise innovative discursive outputs from three key streams of enquiry – Postnational Art Histories, Feminism and Intersectionality, and Art + Science – the program spans research-in-progress, academic dialogues, artist responses, and essays, working to reframe scholarly research via a multiplicity of new perspectives and lenses. The Feminism and Intersectionality series explores discourse and practices that challenge dominant narratives and ideologies, proposing new frameworks through which to continue making and legitimising forms of knowledge and cultural production that are otherwise rendered invisible or deemed untenable. The series aims to address relations of difference, heterogeneity, and hierarchy, enriching our understanding of inequality and global power relations and interactions.

This publication was conceived on March 15, 2021, when more than one hundred thousand people marched across Australia in a series of March 4 Justice protests calling for gender equality and justice for victims of sexual assault. While these protests were motivated by anger at the lack of response by the Australian federal government to current and historic rape allegations, they were part a larger global movement that was gathering momentum. Edited by Vikki McInnes and designed by Kim Mumm Hansen, Enough: Artists and writers on gendered violence comprises creative responses to the issues highlighted in these protests. Responses are subjective, poetic, cathartic, and as fiercely political and deeply personal as the issues they address.
