Resilience
MAWA has recently obtained funding to exhibit the artworks of 50 contemporary Indigenous women in a cross-country billboard project entitled Resilience, curated by Lee-Ann Martin. In inner cities and on highways—sites from which too many women have disappeared—the presence of Indigenous women will be visible and celebrated through art. MAWA is working closely with our partner Pattison Outdoor Advertising to make it possible.
