The Southern Arkansas University Psychology Department will host \u201cThe Closeline Project: Break the Silence\u201d from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, April 14, on the lawn of the Columbia County Courthouse, and during the same time on Tuesday in the mall area at SAU.<\/p>\n

\"psychologydeptcloselineproject\"<\/a>\u201cThe Closeline Project\u201d is a traveling exhibit of approximately 300 hand decorated items of clothing, each representing a life lost due to domestic violence in Arkansas over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cApril is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so we were pleased to be able to schedule this exhibit to visit Magnolia and SAU,\u201d said Deborah Wilson, SAU psychology instructor. \u201cAn average of 30 Arkansans are killed each year from domestic violence. This exhibit helps to remember the victims while raising awareness about domestic violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The display includes a shirt remembering Brittany Pater of Magnolia. Pater\u2019s story and the stories of the other victims are hanging with their respective shirt on display.<\/p>\n

Wilson recalled her first viewing of the exhibit, and described it as a \u201cpowerful, unforgettable display.\u201d
\nThe event really hit home for her when she discovered a shirt representing a woman she knew. \u201cIt brought up a lot of emotion. I stood there thinking about her and what she went through,\u201d said Wilson.<\/p>\n

The exhibit is sponsored by the Arkansas Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ACADV) and the Women\u2019s Crisis Center in Camden. It is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n

SAU students and faculty will be assisting in arranging and repacking the display both days. \u201cWe are actively involved in the issues we teach [in the psychology department at SAU],\u201d said Dr. Chrisanne Christensen, psychology professor. \u201cThat is really important to us.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
