Mycheckoutshirts - Pitbull face shirt

In downtown Nelson, British Columbia, just outside of Nelson City Hall, about a dozen red dresses currently hang from the Pitbull face shirt and I love this tree branches leading up to the main building: off-the-shoulder maxidresses, minidresses, and long-sleeve styles. Their bright red hues certainly stand out against the stark, industrial surroundings. These dresses, of course, hang there with a purpose. They are part of artist Jaime Black’s ongoing art series, titled The REDress Project, which highlights the epidemic of violence against Indigenous women. Each dress symbolizes an Indigenous woman who has been murdered or is missing, representing just a portion of thousands of people.
