May 5 marks Red Dress Day, a day dedicated to honouring Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S+) in Canada. The REDress Project, created by Métis artist Jamie Black, is a powerful art installation that features red dresses displayed in public spaces to raise awareness of the lives of those missing and murdered.
The Sexual Assault Centre Kingston and the Kingston Native Centre and Language Nest will present an installation at several KFPL branches from May 5-19, showcasing red dresses and poetry.
