Remember | Resist | Redraw
Remember | Resist | Redraw is a collaborative radical poster project that I helped create with the Graphic History Collective. Since January 2017 we have worked with artists, writers and activists to create radical history posters which have been shared online, in classrooms, through the media, on the street and at various events.
The imagery for the Remember | Resist | Redraw logo is based on the crowberry, an indigenous plant found in every province and territory in what is now known as Canada. It is a low evergreen plant that grows mostly in the north, in bogs and on the tundra, and it spreads by underground roots and also by migrating birds—often great storytellers—who disperse the seeds across the land. The berries are edible and nutritious and are a traditional food to many Indigenous peoples. The use of the crowberry for the poster logo is intended to draw attention to the importance of the land for radical—that is, to get to the root—storytelling in Canada.
