67 State Library Windows on Collections Rural & Regional Photography Commission East Gippsland
What are the unique issues facing rural and regional Victorians? What do our communities hope for and how will recent events shape the future? The events of 2020 have had a tremendous impact on rural and regional Victorians, with years of drought culminating in a devastating
bushfire season, followed by the arrival of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Window on Collections is the Rural and Regional Photography Commission, a poignant series of photographs that document the year that was 2020 in regional Victoria. Captured through a local lens, these images share moments of regional life and its challenges in this extraordinary time.
68 Collective Betrayal of Bystanders
DARVO invalidates the survivor’s lived experience. It inflicts further pain and suffering as the wronged party is cheated out of any measure of justice. Instead, in addition to the original violation, survivors are persecuted and blamed in spite of the fact that they are the wronged party. Rejection from their peers and the narcissist’s immunity to being held accountable is a constant cascade of salt poured in the survivor’s wounds, causing them to be repeatedly re-traumatized.
