 oll initiated _Bridge_ in\n2015 to create a space for all University co
 mmunity members to learn\nabout the crisis as they reflect upon their resp
 onsibilities and share\nin speaking the names of the lives taken to honour
  and remember as the\nred fabric is tied to the bridge between Environment
  3 and United\nCollege.\n\nFor the Opening Ceremony\, we are requesting vo
 lunteers to read the\nnames — please contact Sorouja Moll. \n\nThe ges
 ture to name\, remember\, and honour the 5000+ missing and\nmurdered Indig
 enous Women\, Girls\, and Two Spirit People across the\nmany nations in Ca
 nada is an active engagement in learning about the\ndepth of the crisis in
  Canada while resisting and (en)countering the\nexisting silence that cont
 inues to shroud it. Originally installed in\nMontreal in 2009\, as _The W
 riting Names Project_\, Moll's\nresearch-creation initiative is a counter-
 memorial and is part of a\nmeaningful and sustained collaborative intercul
 tural praxis between\nIndigenous and non-Indigenous communities. \n\nWatc
