Alea Coble uses film, photography, drawing, print-making techniques, and performance to examine the histories of visceral rhetoric and witness testimony. By queering the carrying capacity of experimental poetic forms through play, absurdity, and humor, Coble defamiliarizes and interrogates the hierarchies of official language that determine what evidence may be admissible in the cultural production of trauma narratives. Their interdisciplinary projects are focused on the concept that the autonomy over the legibility of a subject’s suffering is a gendered, political, and ideological struggle against oppressive hegemonic powers enabled by rape culture.
