Fearless Sisters Rising Mural
The Fearless Sisters Rising Mural was done in partnership with IYILS and Sisters Rising from the University of Victoria. With the permission of the Fearless Collective, we made a second Fearless mural using the creation methodology they had developed. I was the lead artist alongside Lkwungen visual artist, Brianna Dick. We worked with a powerful team of people from IYILS, Sisters Rising, and Child and Youth Care at UVic to bring this project to fruition in October of 2018. The image from the mural emerged from a workshop held with local Indigenous women and women of colour in Victoria. It was then painted by them and their families with Brianna and I acting more as facilitators in the process. The mural and the process was then presented at the Sisters Rising Conference in October 2018 at the First Peoples’ House at UVic.
The mural is 8 ft. x 12 ft. painted on Dibond panels and is permanently installed in the McPherson Library at the University of Victoria, in Victoria, BC.
