The REDress Project
The REDress Project focuses around the issue of missing or murdered Aboriginal women across Canada. It is an installation art project based on an aesthetic response to this critical national issue. The project has been installed in public spaces throughout Canada and the United States as a visual reminder of the staggering number of women who are no longer with us. Through the installation I hope to draw attention to the gendered and racialized nature of violent crimes against Aboriginal women and to evoke a presence through the marking of absence. - The REDress Project – Jaime Black
May 5th marks the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2SG+), also known as Red Dress Day and is a time that we honour and remember the lives of the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people. This day serves as a reminder of the ongoing crisis affecting Indigenous communities across Canada. It is an opportunity for us to reflect, learn, and take action toward justice and healing.
