"The MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women) movement is an activist effort in response to the pervasive issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women across North America (Turtle Island). This movement brings awareness to an issue which did not previously receive mainstream attention. MMIW activism is made up of art, protest, pushing for legislation, and building accurate databases and stronger communities.

This movement is taking place across Canada, the continental US, and Alaska. In this exhibit we will be primarily focusing on the US.
Our exhibit is meant to shed light on this important issue, as well showcase the activism, legislation, and art of the movement. We also want to expose and explain important connections between this current movement and larger themes of settler colonialism, gendered violence, and environmental exploitation." - From exhibition website.
