| Summary: | Womb-Wise, by Shannon Magness. This animation short is an original practical exploration of the unconscious impacts and legacies of pre-natal witnessing of domestic violence (through hearing of violent acts or sharing of stress hormones) based on detailed research into childhood trauma of intergenerational intimate partner violence (IPV). Defined by Magness as a ‘Jingle-Doc’, Womb-Wise combines lo-fi animation aesthetics, abstract imagery and a playful, dystopian ‘songscape’ to ‘communicate unthreateningly’ to a wide audience the repressed traumas of both victims and perpetrators of IPV without blaming and ‘without re-traumatising survivors’.
