Created for Take Back the Archive, the #POSTERS exhibit showcases event and campaign posters related to sexual violence at the University of Virginia. Posters lend a visual dimension to the landscape of sexual violence, while drawing attention to efforts by the University community to combat sexual violence. Through the growth of social media, hashtags (#) have become a popular form of organization, so #POSTERS seeks to engage with popular culture tby utilizing hashtags to organize the exhibit. Some of the hashtags are ones that were actually used to publicize the events or campaigns featured, while others were created for the purpose of this exhibit. Once the viewer clicks on a poster, a larger version of the poster will appear with links to relevant articles and websites. Click around and enjoy exploring!
