Red Dress Day
May 5
In 2010, Metis artist Jaime Black created the REDress Project in Winnipeg, Manitoba, by hanging hundreds of red dresses in public spaces to symbolize Canada’s Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. It has spurred a nationwide movement and is now permanently installed at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
