Their research also took them back to the earliest recorded version of sleeping beauty, Giambattista Basile's Sun, Moon, and Talia (1634).

In this telling, the sleeping princess is raped by a king, and even gives birth to twins before waking up.

The version we all know has been sanitised, but the artists still find it problematic.

"If you break Sleeping Beauty down to its essence, this is a sleeping non-consensual woman, and he comes in, 'I like the look of that, I'll kiss her on the lips'," Martinez says.

"The essence is, 'I invade your body, and you can't say no, and I end up being the hero'. That's what we grew up with, the subliminal messaging of that."
