"What Were You Wearing?" Exhibit, Today and Sept. 27 |
|
| |
|
Don't miss "What Were You Wearing?" hosted by Prevention Education and Advocacy Center (PEACe) with YWCA Alton and Call for Help.
Originating at the University of Kansas, this exhibit uses descriptions written by survivors of the clothes they wore when they were assaulted and pairs them with similar outfits for a visual display. The aim of this exhibit is to break down rape myths and encourage the audience to consider what can they say other than "what were you wearing?" How does this question impact others on our campus and shape SIUE culture?
There will be counselors and advocates available throughout the event should anyone have questions, concerns or feedback.

In 1926 radium was a miracle cure, and luminous watches were the latest rage until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story and written with warmth and humor, "Radium Girls" is a fast-moving, highly theatrical ensemble piece that offers a wry, unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth and the commercialization of science.
