SURVIVOR ADVOCACY PROGRAM & OHIO WOMEN'S CENTER

In This Space, Disrupted
In this campus exhibit, survivors of sexual abuse share their stories through the lens of public and private locations of trauma. It aims to offer alternative narratives so that survivors may be heard, believed, and supported in all spaces. The exhibit is now open to the public daily in the Trisolini Gallery on the fourth floor of Baker University Center. A gallery reception will take place on Sept. 8 at 6 p.m. in the same location.
