Tracer les maux
Editorial project
I've been asked to illustrate a text written by Denis-Martin Chabot about interpersonal violence experienced by a man in his youth as part of the Tracer les Maux. The project is led by clinical psychologist Natacha Godbout, attached to the UQÀM (Montreal) director of the TRAuma and CouplE Research and Intervention Unit (TRACE)
Interpersonal violence experienced by men is still a little-known, even taboo, problem. Tracer les maux is a literary project that aims to demystify the realities of male survivors of childhood interpersonal trauma and deconstruct certain harmful norms of masculinity.
The Tracer les maux literary project features seven authors inspired by excerpts from interviews with men who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, and six illustrators, putting words and images to the realities of male victims, the repercussions of these traumas and their path to recovery
