Red Dress Installation
Honouring MMIWG2S+
On May 6, Helanna Gessner, Curatorial, Collections and Exhibits Manager for the Diefenbaker Canada Centre and Marilyn Black, Indigenous Student Recruitment and Initiatives Coordinator for the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, were joined by Indigenous Elders and members of the University of Saskatchewan community to honour Red Dress Day and raise awareness for missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples. Together the group installed an temporary outdoor exhibit of red dresses around the Diefenbaker Building that will remain in place until May 30th.
We would like to thank Elder Roland Duquette, Elder Linda Sanderson, and Elder Joe Naytowhow for starting the event in a good way and guiding us in creating a space where people could share and remember. We would also like to thank Rachel Fiddler with the Gordon Oakes Red Bear Student Centre for joining us and sharing on the importance of Red Dress Day.
Members of the Saskatoon community and visitors to campus are invited to contribute by adding a red ribbon to the installation. Ribbons are available in the Diefenbaker Building foyer Monday to Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm and Saturday 12-4:30pm.
