Faceless Dolls Project at KPR

Faceless Dolls Project at KPR

Throughout the 2023/24 school year, Indigenous Student Workers and Indigenous Grad Coaches have been raising awareness about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit with the Indigenous students they support. Students have made many dolls to contribute to a system art exhibit that honours and acknowledges the value of women. In Indigenous cultures, it is believed that when giving a doll eyes, you are giving the doll a spirit. The doll may look like someone who has passed on (or moved onto the spirit world) so by giving the doll eyes, you are giving life to the doll and/or could be disturbing the spirit of a person who has passed.

The exhibit will be installed in the foyer at the Education Centre during the week of April 29, 2024. There is also a video about the project coming soon!

There is a crisis. We must begin to understand and address the violence facing Indigenous women, girls, and Two Spirit. The research shows that more than 4/5 Indigenous women will face violence in their lifetime. Statistics Canada shows nearly half will experience sexual assault.

“Violence against Indigenous peoples reflects the traumatic and destructive history of colonialization that impacted and continues to impact Indigenous families, communities and Canadian society overall,” the agency’s report says.

The Faceless Dolls Project at KPR is a way to reflect on the rights of Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirit. It is a way to give them a presence to show we value them. Indigenous women, girls and Two Spirit are essential in our communities. They have a right to safety, health care, education, justice, and culture.
