Via Embrace:
The Clothesline Project originated with 31 shirts in Hyannis, Massachusetts, in 1990 through the Cape Cod Women's Agenda. A small group of women - many of whom had experienced violence in their own lives - designed the visual monument to help transform staggering statistics about violence against women and children into a powerful educational and healing tool. They decided to use a clothesline after discussing how many women in close-knit neighborhoods have traditionally exchanged information over backyard fences while hanging laundry out to dry.
You can see our projects in front of Economart in Spooner and outside the Washburn County Health and Human Services building in Shell Lake!
