Black|Red|White

Women have long been oppressed in society and have often been misheard and abused. In partnership with Osborne House - a local woman's shelter - we had shed light on the formerly stigmatized issue that plagues our society with silence. Black|Red|White was a multimedia awareness exhibit, as well as a fundraising art auction. Our focus was to educate on the learned cyles of "victim" and "abuser" through the use of three stages. These colours were interwoven throughout the course of the night through performance pieces, graphic art displays, and mood evoking music.
Colours and Themes:
Black: Imprisonment (Silence and Darkness)
Red: Anger (the Scars and Wounds of the oppressed)
White: Absolution (Freedom, and breaking the cycle)
Individually we live in silence.
Together, we show our scars are not in vain.
