Auraria Clothesline Project in the Tivoli Student Union. 2018.

Clothesline Project at Auraria...

The Clothesline Project has been installed at Auraria every April and is a beloved project marking Sexual Assault Awareness/Activism Month. On 2019’s clothesline were 257 shirts created over the previous 4 years by survivors and allies connected to the Auraria community. Our clothesline project utilizes color coding to represent 6 types of violence community members have experienced. We have endeavored to represent all identities in our project and are committed to an intersectional representation of violence in our community.
