The politics of a shirt...

I'm leaving the SPA building after my class and what do I see. Random clothesline of shirts with messages of victims of rape, incest, and other acts of abuse. My heart stop. My mind went blank. Each shirt had a message of the struggle of what each individual had to go through. It was as if the victim could use a t-shirt to vent out any frustration they had. This reminded me that fashion can still be political. These shirts don't represent a trend or label. They represent a movement. The movement being a safe way in which victims (the majority women) can educate and speak about violence.
