The Burials of André Cailloux: a Civil War Antigone is a new play with music by Professor Emeritus Alan Freeman. Two sisters from New Orleans learn that their father's corpse has been abandoned on the battlefield after he led the first charge against the Confederate Army at Port Hudson. They are Black. The General who left him there is white. In reclaiming their late father's dignity, the sisters encounter the complex contradictions of Northern values. Inspired by the true story of Native Guard commander and hero Captain André Cailloux.

Join Project SAFE for our annual Take Back the Week Denim Day Fair! Wear your denim and stop by our fair for survivor resources, games, activities, prizes, and much, much more!

Project SAFE’s Denim Day Fair is an annual program hosted during Take Back the Week. This observance aims to address and combat the pervasive issue of sexual violence. Denim Day is a reminder of the importance of fostering solidarity, mutuality, and collective responsibility to end sexual violence on Oxy’s campus and beyond.

On Monday, April 21, 2025 from 6:30PM to 8:00pm in Choi Auditorium, Join Project SAFE in welcoming Breaking Silence, a Colorado-based nonprofit, for a screening of Stories of Survival—a film that sparks conversation, connection, and change.

The film takes the viewer through three stories of interpersonal violence on a college campus. After the film, stay for a powerful panel discussion, free goodies, and community. Your voice matters in this conversation.

March 2025 marks 5 years since the lock down. 5 years since zoom rooms. Online school. Online friends. Online plays. N95s. Mask Ordinances. What will/do we remember? What do we want to forget? An ensemble of performers will come together to create an immersive performance that explores the ways COVID has shaped us.

This upcoming Thursday, March 27, from 7:00pm to 8:30pm in Upper Herrick Chapel, Project SAFE and ORSL are excited to host a sound bath facilitated by Allison Bagg, a sound practitioner, breathwork facilitator, intuitive guide and artist based in Los Angeles.
