The REDress Project

AN AESTHETIC RESPONSE TO THE MORE THAN 1000 MISSING AND MURDERED ABORIGINAL WOMEN IN CANADA.

The REDress Project – Jaime Black (jaimeblackartist.com)

In support of the REDress Project, the Mattawa Museum will be hosting an outdoor exhibit and activities from 10 am – 4 pm on Friday, May 5th. The museum gift shop will also be open.

We are looking for red dresses, t-shirts to be hung in the outdoor exhibit.

This is a project we’ve been working on over the winter for an unveiling this season.

If you had family/friends who may have worked at the Dam back in the day and would be able to share pictures and/or stories, we would like to include it in the audio/visual part of this exhibit. Send your photos, stories to info@mattawamuseum.ca.

Perhaps you currently live in one of the old “hydro houses” that were moved from the Village at Otto Holden to town?

We are reaching out to community to ensure that we include local stories. We invite you to share!
