SUMMARY:Resilience: Honoring those lost\, those murdered\, and those who still search
DESCRIPTION:The installation explores the root causes of the MMIW epidemic. Through spreading awareness the artist promotes actionable change. According to the Urban Health Institute\, 5\,712 cases of MMIW were reported in 2016\, of these\, only 116 were logged into the Department of Justice Database. Dante Biss-Grayson\, in this ongoing installation honors those lost\, those missing\, and those murdered. The work is a live creation which will include\, open discussions\, poetry creation\, art creation\, new media\, and virtual activism via social media platforms. The live creation will shout to the wind\, a stone in the lake\, a way to send a signal to the world that this issue is impacting us and that we must provide action. By creating art\, and externalizing the emotions felt\, the artist intends to bring greater awareness to this issue\, and inspire action. \n  \nSpace is limited for the in-person event; pre-registration is recommended. \n  \nQuestions?
