Dr. Elaina Behounek, associate professor of sociology, and MGA students hosted an event to give anyone who wanted a chance to paint a t-shirt for The Clotheline Project, an interactive art display to give voice to survivors of sexual violence.
41 NBC provided coverage of the event.
"The event is hosted by MGA’s sociology department in partnership with the Crisis Line and Safe House of Central Georgia. Organizers say creating visual displays like this helps people connect to the issue beyond the numbers.
"'A lot of us are visually motivated or inspired,' said Rieka Audain, sexual assault advocacy manager for the Crisis Line and Safe House. 'It’s really important to have those visual exhibits that are more than a number or a report to really engage folks.'"
The shirts will be displayed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Student Life Center on the Macon Campus.
