Clothesline Project Display

Vera House, Inc. will host a Clothesline Display on the third floor level of the Canyon Area at Destiny USA. Over 300 shirts will be displayed portraying the messages of survivors of sexual assault and abuse. American Sign Language interpretation will be available Wednesday, April 26th. The exhibit is free and open to the public.

The Clothesline Display is presented annually in April during National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, to pay tribute to the strength and courage of women, children, and male survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Individuals use this opportunity to express themselves through words and art design on a t-shirt. This display provides the community the chance to bear witness to these personal experiences of being victims of violence and also to celebrate their transformation from victim to survivor. The display sends a powerful message that gives sexual assault and abuse a voice as a community problem.
