UC-IMC Hosts Clothesline Project Display

April 21, 2006
Urbana - Organizers have announced a unique art display at the Independent Media Center in Urbana, April 27-29. Called the Clothesline Project, the display is a collection of t-shirts that call attention to violence against women. Akin to the Aids Memorial Quilt, each shirt commemorates a particular woman's experience with violence.  The shirts hang side-by-side on a clothesline to "Break the Silence" and to bear witness to violence against women.  

The dates for the display:
April 27-29, 2006 
10:00am-10pm 
@ the Independent Media Center 
202 S. Broadway, Urbana  

If you would like to make a shirt to add to the display, special shirt-making opportunities are available at the Independent Media Center display:  

Thursday, April 27, 6-9pm                                                
Saturday, April 29, Noon–6pm 
All are welcome.
