When entering college one of the most prominent threats I had to be aware of during the transition was sexual violence. Both of my parents had concerns about this and prepared me as much as they could on methods to
theoretically protect myself, but I have never done anything in practice.

During a discussion with my friends about sexual coercion we realized that we did not know what to do after an event of sexual violence takes place beyond reporting it to the police. I looked into resources that UC Davis provides for instances of sexual violence and quickly realized that there are multiple channels that an individual has to go through in order to get help.

This lo-fi prototype shows how the interactive would open and categorizes the information that is being showcased.

I have since updated the project since this was first pitched to focus on the exhibition element and have more impactful activities such as a shredding sculpture, a trivia search, and a hands-on self defense training.
Final Exhibit & Future Plans
Exhibition Pitch
I presented the first completed draft of this exhibition at the UC Davis Undergraduate Research Conference. I also submitted the project for the Healthy UC Davis Campus grant, which my team received with letters of support from the Activities and Recreation Center, the Center for Advocacy, Resources, and Education, the UC Davis Campus Police Department, as well as multiple department heads.
Critique
This project was developed early in my college career. If I had time to do it again I would focus on the presentation of the art work and curation because it is an outdoor event, which makes art display more difficult.
