Events & Calendars Five Colleges Clothesline Project

Created by survivors as well as friends and family members of survivors, over 800 shirts make up the 5-College Clothesline Project as part of a national project to break the silence around sexual violence by providing space to publicly display shirts to give voice to personal experience(s). The Clothesline Project will be on display from 10am-7pm on Tuesday 10/3 and from 10am-3pm on Wednesday 10/4.

The Clothesline Project is a healing and emotional tool for people of all genders that will be on display on the Memorial Hill side of the First Year Quad. We recognize this project can be a crucial and much needed part of an individual healing process. We also recognize that seeing the Clothesline can be difficult, so we encourage you to take care of yourself, choose to engage as much or as little as you are comfortable, and seek out support and resources.
