Portraits in RED honors missing and murdered Indigenous people
"Portraits in RED: Missing & Murdered Indigenous Peoples Painting Project" is on display at the Michele and Donald D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts in Springfield, Massachusetts. Created by Métis artist Nayana LaFond, the exhibit features portraits of missing and murdered Indigenous people, family members, or advocates, each marked with a red handprint symbolizing the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s movement. Indigenous women and girls are disproportionately represented among cases involving missing and murdered people in the U.S. The exhibit is open through September 7. A reception is set for April 10.
