Our pieces of clothing are quite different. We hang T-shirts which have been designed by survivors of domestic violence. A clothesline of this type displays women's experiences with both mental and physical abuse. Women from many counties in the Upper Cumberland participated in the project last spring and we have over 70 T- shirts archived. It is time for all interested individuals to pass the word that we are designing T-shirts for spring 1999.
All supplies are free to anyone interested in creating a shirt for display.
Shirts can also be made in honor or memory of a woman you know. Part of the purpose of our display is a healing process as well as awareness. Different colors of shirts represent different types of violence. White shirts represent women who have died in violence. Blue or green shirts represent survivors of incest or childhood sexual abuse.
