In Memory of... an exhibition underlining December 6th

With artists Sunroop Dhillon, Denise Holland, Michael King, Yao Li, Alison Fast, Yifei Zhang

This horrific event functioned as an important catalyst for recognizing and supporting action against violence committed against women. In 1991 Canada's Parliament declared December 6 the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
