Everyone has a right to feel safe in their community. To create safe spaces, we must identify and understand what makes people feel unsafe in their neighbourhoods. This Speaker Series event will highlight a United Neighbours project undertaken by Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre (PQCHC) and the City for All Women Initiative (CAWI), and funded by Crime Prevention Ottawa. The event will feature life-sized, personally crafted canvas “body maps” that visually depict the women’s and girls’ struggles, successes and overall experiences with safety in their communities. Using a variety of artistic materials including newspaper clippings, photographs and paint, these maps are a powerful mechanism for illustrating personal experience.
