What is the Clothesline Project?
What: The Clothesline Project is a collective public exhibit of t-shirts created by survivors of violence and those who have lost a loved one to violence. In the public display, each shirt is hung so that viewers can witness the impact of domestic violence in our community. Join us in this empowering event designed to bring healing to survivors of violence, education about violence, and violence prevention.
Who: Write your story as a survivor, tell the story of the one you are there to remember, or write a message of support as an ally. Anyone who has been affected by relationship violence at any time in their life is encouraged to come forward and design a shirt to represent their story. Where: You can create your shirt at home or at the event. If you want to create your shirt that night, bring a white or light-colored t-shirt you can write on. We will have some extra shirts and sharpies available; if you have an extra t-shirt, bring it along for someone else to use. In your design, please do not include a name or any other identifying information in your design. |
