Due to the rain-out during Critical Social Justice week, the Monument Quilt display has been rescheduled to take place during Sexual Assault Awareness Month on Tuesday, April 17th (12 pm-6 pm)!! 

The Monument Quilt is a Baltimore-based art activist project with the goal of carving out spaces for survivors of sexual violence and abuse to share their stories. Written, stitched, and painted onto red fabric, the stories of survivors will be displayed on Erickson Lawn at UMBC to create and demand public space to heal. The quilt resists the popular and narrow narrative of how sexual violence occurs by telling many stories, not one. The quilt builds a new culture where survivors are publicly supported, rather than publicly shamed. 

We are in need of volunteers for set-up (between 9 am-12 pm), staffing the display (1 hour intervals between 12 pm-6 pm) and breakdown (6 pm-8:30 pm).

If you are interested in volunteering, please visit our sign up page. Please sign up for shifts you know you are available for and keep in mind you will have to attend open training session prior to The Monument Quilt. 

We hope to see you there!
