Monument Quilt Display at UMBC

Due to rain and more rain this event has been cancelled. We hope to bring the Monument Quilt to campus in the spring!!!

********************************************

Join us at UMBC on Saturday, 10/3/15 and Monday, 10/5/15 as the Monument Quilt comes to campus in recognition of Relationship Violence Awareness Month.

We will display the collection of stories created for and by survivors of rape and abuse. By stitching these stories together, survivors are creating a space to heal and creating a new culture where survivors are publicly supported rather than publicly shamed. There will be an opportunity to interact with the quilt and also to create your own mini square to add to the squares created by thousands of other survivors and allies.

This public display will be shown at the same time as UMBC's Retriever Wellness Expo as part of UMBC's Relationship Violence Awareness Month kick-off event. Find us on the Quad lawn from 11am-3pm on Monday, 10/5/15.

Another public display will be hosted on Saturday, 10/3/15 from 9am-2pm on the PAHB Lawn during the Imagining America conference at UMBC.  A workshop about the Monument Quilt will be presented at the conference from 12-1pm in PAHB 319.

This display is co-sponsored by UMBC's Women's Center, University Health Services, and Voices Against Violence.
