The Voices series is about conveying dignity and honouring of the stories of indigenous women’s fight for recognition for the Missing and Murdered indigenous women who are unable to speak for themselves. While this message is at the heart of the images it is the vivid portraits communicate the strength and resilience of the community. This work is about connecting the whole community - both indigenous and not, to these stories. Paying tribute to these women in a dignified and non-exploitive way. These beautifully meaningful works of art are created to celebrate the stories and culture of indigenous peoples across the nation.
It is their turn to speak and our turn to listen to their stories both visually and through spoken and written word.
Photos are in honour of missing and murdered indigenous women.
Megan (the model) is indigenous from Quebec, Canada.
This is an ongoing series.
