As the clothesline team travels, viewers are supported in writing their own stories on a shirt, in complete privacy and anonymity.
"Each Shirt is one survivor's testimony of their personal experience with violence. Some shirts in the display show fear, anger and pain while others show hope and healing. Each shirt represents it's creator's feelings, but does not reflect every survivor's attitude. The shirts in The Clothesline Project are not censored."
