"My goal was to communicate the cultures and traditions of Tamil. I wanted to share the many important Tamil contributions to art, culture, and entertainment - and to show how all these traditions can be seen in Canada, which is why I included the Canadian flag as the background of the entire poster.​"  Elona Lawrence (Student and creator of poster)
