WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO SPEAK

EDITORIAL

Digitally enhanced coloured treatments of black and white photos to bring a sense of modernity.

We Weren't Allowed To Speak is a print publication designed to bring enhanced awareness and engagement about Canada's contentious and controversial past handlings with Indigenous people and the history of residential schools.

The publication contains quotes sourced through extensive research detailing personal experiences of the daily life of residential school students.

Black and white colour treatments can seem dated, digitally enhancing the photographs bring a sense of modernity that reminds outsiders that this trauma is real and still very present.
