Join us for a book wrapping event to honour all Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Men, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWGM2S). On March 19 and March 26, TMU Libraries’ DME is hosting drop-in book wrapping events as part of the Canadian Library art installation project. The Canadian Library (TCL) is a grassroots art installation project that acts as a memorial to all Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, Men, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWGM2S). The project currently consists of micro galleries installed at various locations across Canada.
Wrapped books will be covered in Indigenous-inspired fabric, with the names of MMIWGM2S placed on book spines to respect and honour the thousands of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, men and two-spirit people.
The event is in preparation for the installation a micro gallery at TMU Libraries on May 6. The book wrapping events are part of a series of learning opportunities for Red Dress Day organized by Rebirthed Teachings which are offered across campus from February to May.
At these drop-in events participants will have the opportunity to wrap books in fabric and attach a name. No experience is required. Supplies will be provided.
