On the fourth floor of Alkek Library, a quote from an anonymous student and sexual assault survivor displayed in the Students Against Violence (SAV) installation reads, "Start believing us. It doesnât matter if he was a ânice guyâ and your experience is different. What he did to me was real."
To bring awareness to sexual assault on college campuses, Students Against Violence (SAV) created an art installation titled "Like The Back of My Hand" on the fourth floor of Alkek Library â an interactive fixture that allows sexual assault survivors to anonymously paint on the back of a 3D printed hand the age they were assaulted, how they were related to their assailant and what action the community can take to better support survivors.
