A workshop to design the NEW monument honouring survivors of gender based violence to be installed in Mississippi Mills later this year.
In 2019, we paired up with ReDefine Arts to create a pebble mosaic honouring survivors of gender- based violence in Carleton Place at Town Hall Square Park
The Countdown Public Art Project is a province-wide initiative that creates outdoor monuments in public spaces to honour survivors of gender-based violence and to imagine, or count down to, a world without gender-based violence.
These pebble mosaic public art monuments aim to increase the public’s understanding of gender-based violence, bring private conversations out into the open reminding us that gender based violence concerns us all, and provide survivors positive ways to (re)connect with the community.
These art pieces are collaborative – we would like YOUR help as a member of the community to help us design the monument which will be installed in Mississippi Mills later this year.
The evening will feature presentations by ReDefine Arts and Lanark County Interval House and an opportunity to complete an activity kit – your contribution to the project – with company in a virtual café style environment.
