Abstract [sv]

Den farligaste platsen för en kvinna är hennes egna hem. Fler än 50 misshandelsfall gentemot kvinnor i hemmet om dagen anmäls i Sverige och i snitt dödar en man i Sverige en kvinna han har eller har haft en relation med var tredje vecka. Ett samhälleligt och medmänskligt engagemang kan vara skillnad mellan liv och död. Det är dags att rikta fokus och ansvar mot mannen, dig, mig och samhället. Arkitekter och Inredningsarkitekter har länge haft kunskap om hur trygga offentliga rum i utomhusmiljöer kan och bör utformas. Men faktum är att endast 15% av alla anmälda våldtäkter begås i utomhusmiljöer, sk. överfallsvåldtäkter. Resterande 85% sker i det egna hemmet av en närstående. Fältet Arkitektur och Inredningsarkitektur bör ha kunskap om våld i hemmiljö och ta detta i beaktning i sin praktik.

“Home is where her horror is” utgår från det faktum att den farligaste platsen för en kvinna är hennes egna hem, detta utforskas och gestaltas vidare i tre påståenden och linjer:

-Linje 1: Fältet Arkitektur, Inredningsarkitektur och formgivning behöver kunskap om våld i nära relation och ta detta i beaktning i sin praktik. 

-Linje 2: I samarbete med material från organisationen “Huskurage” formge och skapa en mobil informationsplats i ett flerbostadshus för att främja samtal och spontana möten grannar emellan, medvetandegöra kring våld i nära relation samt införa Huskurage.

-Linje 3: Gestalta den våldsutsatta kvinnans dimension av hemmet i skala 1:1 under Konstfacks vårutställning 2023. För att metvetandegöra och informera besökaren genom konst, rumslig gestaltning, formgivning, film och performance med ambition om att framkalla reaktion som leder till aktion.

Abstract [en]

The most dangerous place for a woman is her own home. More than 50 cases of abuse against women a day are reported in Sweden, and on average a man in Sweden kills a woman he has or has had a relationship with every three weeks. A social and human commitment can be the difference between life and death. It is time to direct focus and responsibility towards the men, you, me and society. Architects and interior architects have long had knowledge of how to design safe public spaces in outdoor environments. But the fact is that only 15% of all reported rapes are committed in outdoor environments. The remaining 85% is done in her own home by a person she has a relationship with or a relative. The field of Architecture and Interior Design should have knowledge of domestic violence and take this into account in their practice.

"Home is where her horror is" is based on the fact that the most dangerous place for a woman is her own home, this is further explored and shaped in three statements:

-Line 1: The field of Architecture, Interior Architecture and design needs knowledge of domestic violence and take this into account in their practice.

-Line 2: In collaboration with material from the organisation "Huskurage", design and create a mobile information site in an apartment building to promote conversations and spontaneous meetings between neighbours, raise awareness about domestic violence and introduce Huskurage.

-Line 3: Shape a home from the abused woman's perspective on a 1:1 scale during Konstfack's spring exhibition 2023. To raise awareness and inform the visitor through art, spatial design, design, film and performance with the ambition of evoking reaction that leads to action.
