What is SLAM?

A Showcase of Local Arts and Movement

We will be staging visual art made by youth!

Why?

On Denim Day, which takes place on the last Wednesday in April — April 26 this year — we stand in solidarity with sexual assault survivors and victims. Celebrated every year on the last Wednesday of April, and is now called “Denim Day” which started as a campaign against sexual assault apologists.

Whats the story behind “Demin Day?

In the summer of 1998 in Italy, an 18-year-old girl was raped by her 45-year-old driving instructor. One year later, the perpetrator was released after the court overturned his sentence. He appealed that the girl had had ‘consensual’ sex with him because she was wearing tight jeans that could have only been taken off with her help. The next day, Italian women showed up in jeans to their workplaces as a way to protest the absurdity of the overturned sentence.
