The What Were You Wearing exhibit is an installation answering the question frequently asked of survivors. This exhibit features narratives and re-creations of outfits based on survivors' experiences. This event occurs yearly during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. It is hosted both in the Carlson Library on Main Campus and the Mulford Library on Health Science Campus. Please join us to unlearn one of our culture's most prevalent rape myths.
