The REDress Project 

The REDress Project is an installation art project created by Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette.The installation consists of hundreds of red dresses suspended in public spaces to mark the absence and evoke the presence of Indigenous women and girls who have gone missing or been murdered.

Indigenous women face higher rates of violence than any other cultural group in Canada and the United States. Indigenous families and communities have been advocating for generations to make changes to the colonial system that often treat the perpetrators of this violence with impunity.

On March 1st from 12:00 - 1:00 pm, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation (https://nctr.ca/) out of the University of Manitoba will be giving a virtual presentation for the Queen's University community. This presentation will feature information on allyship, TRC calls to action, and residential school history. 

As a portion of the commitment to reconciliation signed widely across the university last year, there is a commitment to continued education on residential school history and Indigenous history, as well as current issues and causes. View commitment here.

To attend, please fill out the registration form.
