University student carries mattress around campus in protest against rapist

A University student is carrying her mattress with her everywhere she goes in a bid to get the man she says raped her to leave the campus.

21-year-old Emma Sulkowicz, a visual art major, was allegedly raped in her sophomore year; she has turned the attack into a thesis entitled: ‘Mattress Performance: Carry That Weight’.

She said: “I was raped in my own dorm bed and since then, that space has become fraught for me. I feel like I’ve carried the weight of what happened there since then.”
