The REDress Project

posted by The Princess Shop    |   September 16, 2014 14:17

A unique and impactful art installation will be unveiled at the University of Saskatchewan this week. The REDress Project is a critical response to the number of missing and murdered Aboriginal women across Canada. The project collects red dresses, donated by members of the community, and displays these dresses as a visual reminder of the absence of missing and murdered Aboriginal women. 

The REDress Project will official open Wednesday, September 17 with an opening reception starting at 4PM. Artist Jaime Black will lead an exhibition tour at 7:30PM. The exhibition will be installed at the University of Saskatchewan campus around the Bowl and the Agricultural, Arts. Education, and Geology buildings. 

Projects, such as The REDress Project, remind our community about those women who can fall between the cracks and be forgotten. This visual reminder of the absence of women - friends, sisters, mothers - helps to create awareness of this national issue and urges the public to remember these women.

The Princess Shop believes that the young women in our community need to be supported and have their accomplishments recognized and celebrated in order to increase their self-esteem and drive. Our organization was proud to donate a few red dresses to be used in this project installation. 

For more information visit The REDress Project website or the University of Saskatchewan's exhibit event Facebook page.

As the new school year starts, we are looking back about the gorgeous ladies we had the opportunity to meet through the 2014 Dress Program. Each of our 2014 Princess Graduates chose stunning graduation gowns and looked beautiful on the day of their graduation ceremony. We were so fortunate to have Wanda Keen provide in-kind sponsorship of the photography of our Saskatoon Princess Graduates for 2014. A selection of of 2014 Princess Graduates photos have been posted to our Facebook page. Head over to our page and check out these stunning photos. 

If you are a 2014 Princess Graduate and have not yet picked up your photos, please stop by The Princess Shop during Karen's regular business hours

We can't believe how quickly graduation season comes and goes! The Princess Shop team is looking forward to meeting all of the amazing young women that will be our 2015 Princess Graduates and doing it all again! Good luck to all of our past Princess Graduates as they continue on to post-secondary education or pursue other goals. And to our 2015 Princess Graduates - best of luck as you enter into the school year and we all look forward to meeting you soon!
