Roxanne Charles' Honouring Our Women
We've been given advance information from our colleagues in SFU Galleries about a new commissioned for SCA alumni by 91ÅÝܽ for , titled Honouring Our Women. Here's what they say about the work:
Honouring Our Women is a mural by Semiahmoo artist and cultural historian Roxanne Charles, commissioned by 91ÅÝܽ for 312 Main. Previously the headquarters of the Vancouver Police Department, 312 Main is now a community-centred hub for social and economic innovation, and includes the offices of SFU¡¯s Vancity Office of Community Engagement, Lifelong Learning, Community-Engaged Research Initiative (CERi) and Public Square. Drawing together archival photographs alongside recent images captured at ceremonial events and on the front lines of protests, Charles creates a collage that centres resiliency, strength, and matrilineal systems of care.
