Started on Cape Cod, Mass., in 1990, the Clothesline Project allows women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a shirt. They then hang the shirt on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women.
This powerful demonstration, co-sponsored by The Shelter, a Columbia safe-haven for battered and abused women, will be at Lowry Mall, Tuesday, Oct. 19, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The display includes shirts created over the past several years.
