rights in European countries and
the United States.
Three visual arts events are hap
pening in conjunction with V
Week. “The Clothesline Project,”
where sexual assault survivors cre
ate T-shirts, will be on display in
the Maple Room. The Ballroom will
host “Silent Witness” — a collec
tion of red wooden silhouettes of
survivors. “Palpable Pleasures,” an
exhibit of touchable artwork about
women’s sexuality, will be in the
Gum wood Room.
“Local and international artists
have submitted artwork that is
somehow a palpable pleasure,” Bor
man said.
This year is also the first time
men are being allowed to perform in
“Monologues.”
“The organization realized that
you can’t just ask women to end vio
lence,” Borman said. “It’s a neces
sary cooperation for achieving the
goals of V-Day.”
Ben Storey and Dominic Pas
sarelli wrote a monologue to per
form together. Both men said par
ticipating in the monologues has
raised their awareness about vio
lence against women.
“It opened my eyes even more to
how much of a problem violence
against women is,” Passarelli said.
Recent University graduate and
fellow performer Kat Reese said be
ing involved in the production has
opened her eyes too.
“It’s been intense,” Reese said.
“I’ve learned a lot in this process,
about myself and other women.”
Borman said she expects the
viewers to learn from the experi
ence as well.
“I hope the audience walks away
having an enjoyable, entertaining
experience, as well as learning
ways they can get involved to help
make a change,” she said. “Only by
working together can we start the
vulva-lution.”

Valentine's
continued from page 5
Film lovers can make a date with
the Valentine’s Day Love/Hate
Screening at My House, located at
115 W. Broadway. The open
screening is free and will include
movies under 10 minutes long, cre
ated by community members about
their love/hate relationships, with
an additional viewing of artist
Martha Colburn’s visual montages.
In conclusion, Dennis Driscoll will
play folk songs that My House said
will “make even the most lonely of
us feel loved.”
Romance will also abound in
the Chinese Film Series’ “Com
rades, Almost A Love Story.” The
1996 film was named best picture
in the Hong Kong Film Awards
and has English subtitles. Stu
dents looking for a sweet Valen
tine’s deal can see it free at 4 p.m.

Students planning a slightly
more expensive love fest can head
