Clothesline Project ' ! wp; ring your story L Right: Members of the UCLA community gather to read the stories of survivors of sexual, domestic or gender-based violence. These stories exposed the horrendous nature of such heinous acts and encouraged all listeners to take a proactive approach to preventing future incidences. Photograph submitted by Clothesline Project Below: Two volunteers help out at the tables, providing information, resources and counseling At one of the booths, survivors also had the opportuniy to make a shirt on the spot to add to the collection. Photograph submitted b Clothesline Project In 1998, the Clothesline Project was started by faculty members of the Office of Residential Life, but since then has flourished into a student-run organization. Taking place in spring quarter, it was an annual display of color-coordinated T-shirts in Dickson Plaza that was a visual representation of survivors ' journeys. There were over 600 shirts displayed, all products of survivors, or family and friends of those who lost their lives to sexual, domestic or gender-based violence. Not only this, but this ,3-day exhibit was paired with workshops in the past that have ranged from transgender issues to self-defense. The culminating e ' ent of this display was Taking Back the Night where there were speakers and performers, as well as a candlelight vigil and a speak-out for survivors to share their stories. After this, over 200 students marched from De Neve Plaza through Westwood. making a stance against violence by carrying drums and picket signs, chanting the whole way. According to third-year art history and marine biology student Swati Misra, We at UCLA Clothesline Project hope that it will pre ' ent sexual violence by increased education about consent, the law and resources around campus. We also aspire to provide a support .system for survivors and victims ' friends and family in order to break the silence about the prevalence and occurrence of these terrible crimes. The impact that the event had on those passing by was immense because each shirt told a different story, and through the shirts, others got a chance to see people ' s stories of sexual violence, .slorv b I ' lctoria Nguyen.
