The Banner Project (1990): Waterlily

Photo taken in 1990 of the protest banner created for the Banner Project by Waterlily, a feminist newspaper in Newfoundland and Labrador. Women’s groups across Canada were asked to produce a protest banner that would become part of a huge banner in Ottawa. The goal was to show the strength and solidarity of women during the Third Commonwealth meeting of Ministers Responsible for Women’s Affairs in October 1990.
