The exhibition:
“What Was I Wearing?” (“¿Qué Traía Puesto?”) is an important and topical exhibition that invites the community to question harmful attitudes and reactions by sharing the stories of survivors and representing the outfits they were wearing at the time of the assault. The outfits displayed will be assembled based on descriptions given by survivors, or from clothes donated by the survivors themselves.
Our goal:
This exhibition aims to challenge the belief that the clothes a person wears determines how likely they are to be sexually assaulted. Too often, 
survivors are asked what they were wearing at the time of the assault, or other questions about the time, place or circumstances – suggesting that they are at fault for what happened to them. Sexual assault is never the survivor’s fault – instead, the blame should lie with the person who chose to harm them.
What is sexual assault?
SAFE’s definition of sexual assault is any forced, coerced, or unwanted sexual experience. It can happen to anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, or age.** Sexual assault doesn’t just happen between strangers. More often it happens between people who already know each other – intimate partners, acquaintances, coworkers, family members, and trusted friends.
At this moment, we are not accepting new submissions. The date for our next exhibition has not been finalized yet, and the reopening of our submission page remains to be determined. Please stay tuned for further updates and thank you for your interest and support in this event.
Thank you!
