​

"Heartbreak and Bad Jokes" is a 70-page collection of 35mm photographs and words about sexual assault that was made with pain and love by survivors.

Photographs and curation by Helena Gruensteidl.

Words by anonymous survivors.

Some words are from friends, family, therapists, college counselors, strangers, song lyrics, and movies. Other words are from self-doubt, self-reminders, self-hatred, and self-love.
