What Were You Wearing? Silent Art Exhibit

When survivors of sexual violence disclose their stories, they are often asked, “what were you wearing?” as if their clothing choice determines their consent. The What Were You Wearing? silent exhibit, an international survivor art installation, fights back against rape myths by displaying re-creations of the clothing survivors were wearing when they were assaulted, showing that someone’s clothing does not equate to their consent. This exhibit contains survivor stories addressing sexual violence. We encourage visitors to engage at their own pace and note that the content is intended for mature audiences. Silent Exhibit Locations are open to the public.
