In support of Antioch University's commitment to social justice and social change, the nation's first LGBT Specialization in Clinical Psychology proudly presents and sponsors Antioch's first-ever Clothesline Project. We feel that an LGBT-affirmative perspective gives us a psychology and the compassion needed to most effectively attend to violence against women. While continuing the national Clothesline emphasis on the atrocities enacted on women we also want to give voice to all who are oppressed by addressing the way in which the brute force of heterosexism invisibly victimizes and controls all subjectivities, genders, sexual orientations, races, and ethnicities. The Clothesline Project is one way for us to educate, support, and put into action our commitment to fight unjust power systemically and intrapsychically for ALL people.

Featured Artist Michelle Mangione

Michelle is an award-winning songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her original songs have been highlighted on such television shows as Time of Your Life (Sony Television) and in the film, True Rights (Buffalo Rome Films). She has performed throughout the United States and abroad as the drummer for such legendary artists as jazzman Buddy Collette and guitarist Robben Ford. Upon the release of her debut CD, Life Beneath the Sun, Grace Slick, (formerly of Jefferson Airplane) said, "Wow! This album is an amazing surprise. Michelle is a gifted artist and poetic songwriter. Her album takes me back to the days when songwriting was a craft and music made people think. When I get a CD that I like, I play it over and over and over. This is one of those CD's. I am honored to have my painting on the cover." www.michellemangione.com

2007 Keynote Speaker Kathryn Keats

Singer Kathryn Keats, who recently went public after years in hiding from an abusive relationship, will speak and perform songs from her new CD "After the Silence" as part of the Clothesline Project at Antioch University on October 13. After moving to New York in her 20s, Keats' domestic partner became physically abusive, tying her to a chair and holding her captive in their apartment for 54 days. She eventually fled to safety, but changed her name and remained in hiding for 22 years to prevent her abuser from finding her. Keats' harrowing story was told recently in Readers' Digest and in the San Francisco Chronicle. www.kathrynkeats.com
