Working with Shatitsirótha': the Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre (WISC), the Office of Indigenous Relations (ORI) and 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, Dr. Sorouja Moll initiated the interactive and reflective art installation Bridge in 2015 to create a space for all University community members to learn about the crisis of violence committed against Indigenous women, girls and two spirit Peoples. Participants are encouraged to reflect upon their responsibilities to this land and its stewards, while sharing in the speaking and honoring of the names of those taken as red fabric is tied to the bridge between Environment 3 and United College. All are welcome.

The installation is located at the bridge across from UW Environment 3, on Ring Round connecting to United College.
