The REDress Project Reception

The REDress Project, an impactful outdoor art installation created by Métis artist Jaime Black-Morsette, sheds light on the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. This striking exhibition, at Michigan State University March 1 -17, 2024, features approximately 60 red dresses suspended along West Circle Drive in public spaces near the MSU Museum and W.J. Beal Botanical Gardens, symbolizing the haunting absence and powerful presence of these women and girls.

The project was brought to MSU through a campus collaboration between the MSU Museum, Beal Botanical Garden, Native American Institute, American Indian and Indigenous Studies, Office for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion, and EAGLE.
