El Tendedero/The Clothesline Indiana is a participatory artwork by artist and activist Mónica Mayer that/ transforms the clothesline, a symbol of traditional feminine roles, into a forum for conversation on violence against women. The work was previously exhibited at the Indiana Statehouse in support of Women4Change's 2019-2020 efforts to define legal consent in Indiana. At the Statehouse, the participatory artwork garnered over 1,500 responses written on pink postcards from all 92 Indiana counties. As part of this reenactment, guests will be invited to share their experiences with sexual assault and violence. Guests will leave with a better understanding of this pervasive issue as well as an understanding of how personal stories promoted legislative change in Indiana.
