The Clothesline Project, 2011
Follow Ottawa’s Women’s Event Network for updates and information on The Clothesline Project.
The Clothesline Project is a fantastic installation wherein women who have been affected by domestic violence decorate tee-shirts and hang them up to “air out their dirty laundry”. I saw it at the Ravenswing DIY Festival last year and look forward to seeing it again there next weekend. Its very powerful and well worth checking out.
An very de Kooning-esque work by Borduas (that I was surprised to learn actually predates de Kooning’s Woman series)
