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. 

Decoding Our Project

T-shirts are color coded according to the following:
