The Clothesline Project offers people affected by violence a means to express their emotions by decorating a shirt that they can then hang on the clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of sexual, gender-based, power-based, and intimate partner violence.

​

To make a shirt:

• Submit a shirt you've made in the past via picture and email it to clotheslineproject2021@gmail.com

• Go to customink.com and design a shirt then email the design to clotheslineproject2021@gmail.com

• See the submission box here and enter whatever information you'd like to share

Thank you for your time and story​

We're happy to share your story as long as you abide by the following guidelines: 

• Shirts should be submitted by the survivors, if this is not possible, a shirt for a survivor should be submitted with their written permission if applicable. 

• They will not be censored. It is up to the survivor what content they want to use, as long as any identifying information of the perpetrator is not displayed.

 

Unfortunately, if these guidelines are broken your shirt will not be able to be displayed in our gallery. ​

​

You are invited to use your creativity to its full potential. This is all about you and the healing process, however, here are some of our suggestions! 

 

• For people who have been killed: You are invited to show their name, date of birth and death, and hometown, on the shirt but you are not required to include this information. Write a description of the person you have memorialized,  include information you wish to share about their death. Tell us what this person meant to you and how you think they should be remembered. You may also submit a photo of the person if you wish.

• Below is a chart showing what the different colors of shirts mean, you may choose to follow this or not. This is part of your healing process, we appreciate anything you're willing to design or share.
