Workshop
REMEMBERING OUR DTES WOMEN
Thursday October 30, 11am – 1pm
Oppenheimer Park, 488 Powell
Free
The Vancouver Public Library is working with community members to develop Remembering Our DTES Women: The Stories Behind the Women’s Memorial Quilt, an online gallery where the quilt can be shared by friends and family alike from anywhere in the world. Community and family members who knew and cared for these women made the Women’s Memorial Quilt with love and respect, and carry it in the February 14th Annual Women’s Memorial March.
Diane Wood and Rosemary Georgeson will lead craft workshops to create a memorial altar to honor our murdered and missing friends; add your voice to this living memorial to our women. A celebration of life will be held on Monday November 2 in collaboration with Watari and VPL in Oppenheimer Park. For more information about the project or this event, leave a message for Diane or Rosemary at the Carnegie front desk.
This event was on Day 3 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!
