RDA Fall 2022 Newsletter: Anna talks about an intense and rewarding summer working on the Renfrew County Inquest Public Art Response project in the Madawaska Valley.

In June 2022, we welcomed three artistic collectives into conversation to explore themes of interdependence, care and kinship in each of their unique creative processes. Watch, listen and learn more about the collectives and Unscripted: KINSHIP!

ReDefine Arts is proud to partner with many organizations to realize The Renfrew County Inquest Public Art Response. This project offers residents opportunities to make meaning of and respond to the triple femicide that took place on September 22, 2015 and the related 2022 CCO Inquest.

The first of three reports to be produced, the 2020-2021 Countdown Evaluation Report spans projects that took place between November 2020 and October 2021 in Lanark County and North Hastings.

Project creators and collaborators share their experiences working on the project through its different iterations, and particularly on the 2021 co-production.
