Mural Commemorating Manitoba Landfill Victims and Raising Awareness of Government Inaction
A Winnipeg-based artist, Anjie Valgardson, in collaboration with Elders, created this mural with the approval of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights as a gift to affected families. The mural aims at raising awareness about the injustices resulting from the Manitoba government's failure to act. The outer portion of the mural features hashtags that pedestrians can follow for more information. The memorial section, in red, recognizes the names of loved ones associated with The Brady and Prairie Green landfills. The inner circle represents Turtle Island and the diversity of those who call it home. The mural's center holds the International symbol for Human Rights.
