The Clothesline Project began in 1990 as a visual display of shirts to bring awareness to experiences of sexual violence. These shirts are created either by the survivor or by a family, friend, and/or loved one. The art display was created with the purpose of educating others about sexual violence and is also meant to be an important part of the healing process for survivors of sexual violence. Survivors of all identities are welcome to be a part of the shirt-making process and the public event. In the original Clothesline Project, a color code was created to give a visual ‘statistic’ of different types of violence women faced. WHITE for individuals who have died as a result of sexual violence YELLOW/BEIGE for survivors of dating/ domestic violence RED/PINK/ORANGE for survivors of rape/ sexual assault BLUE/GREEN for survivors of incest/child sexual abuse PURPLE/LAVENDER for survivors attacked because of their sexual orientation GRAY for survivors of gang rape BLACK for survivors of sexual harassment If you are a survivor of sexual violence or know others who have been impacted by sexual violence, we would like to invite you to create a shirt for yourself or for others you care about. This will be a safe, survivor-centered space for healing. There will also be snacks! If you would still like to make a shirt but do not feel comfortable attending the shirtmaking event in the WU, you can contact Scripps Advocates or IFC student reps to request a shirt to decorate anonymously at home. The shirt-making event will be on March 31st from 6-8 PM in the Women’s Union, Pomona College. Advocates will be present for on-site support. Shirts in various colors will be provided. These shirts will later be hung in a public display on Walker Beach on April 18th. Keep an eye out for more details on this event in the next couple weeks.
