Métis artist Jaime Black created an art installation in Winnipeg that consisted of 600 red dresses donated by the community. Black chose the colour red for the dresses because a friend had told her that red is the only colour spirits can see. So, the goal of the red dresses is to call the spirits of missing and murdered women and girls back to their loved ones.
