DismantlE Racism Salt SpringAn ongoing art mural started in June 2020 commissioned by Al's Gourmet Falafel and Fries created by artist Katira Niquidet.
We acknowledge that we are living and working on the unceded traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, which is the traditional land of multiple First Nations including the Cowichan, Tsawassen, Tsawout, Tsartlip,Pauquachin, Penelakut, WSANEC, Malahat and Tseycum. We acknowledge that there is still and always has been systemic racism in Canada. This mural is created in support of our fellow Salt Spring Island Black, Indigenous and People Of Colour (BIPOC); our friends, our family, our community. We believe in standing up against racial discrimination and supporting those who have been hurt by this system of inequality. #DISMANTLE RACISM Our diversity is our strength. |
