Assiniboia Residential Schools

Initiated by the Indigenous Relations Division, this exhibit represents one of the City of Winnipeg’s responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. Services included art direction and graphic design for nine interpretive panels and banners telling the story of survivors’ experiences in the Assiniboia Residential School from 1958 to 1973. Working closely with the historian, art direction services were provided to organize historic content into the signage design framework. Obtaining and overseeing print and fabrication costs was also included. The banners were showcased in Winnipeg’s City Hall and in the Millennium Library in downtown Winnipeg. 2018
