An ongoing exhibition at the Hangzhou Library shows violence against women during war through the multimedia artworks of contemporary artists from home and abroad.
Intimate Transgressions runs through April 16 in Hangzhou, capital of East China's Zhejiang province, and features 43 artists from China and nine other countries, including Japan, Israel and Ireland.
Since last year marked the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, the project was initiated in New York by Sam Chen, president of the Center for Asia Pacific Affairs, an NGO that documents the brutal abuses of Chinese women by Japanese forces during the country's invasion of China.
