May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
To help draw attention to this day, KPU Library is honoured to announce that a new display by Jennifer Lamont, a Metis artist and Wilson School of Design graduate, is available to view on the ground floor atrium area at Surrey campus library in the Arbutus Building.
This display features a red dress that earned Lamont a second place in this years' Our Social Fabric, Upcycled Design Competition. This years' theme was "Awareness" and Lamont says, "I wanted to give awareness to "Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women" [as] this is a topic that doesn't get enough attention, especially in the media."
KPU Library invites the KPU community to view Lamont's design, and to reflect, educate, promote awareness and take action on this important day and topic.
This display will be available to view throughout May and June.
