| Diversity Cornwall Mural near the Clock Tower |
Artist: Kathleen TuckAfter growing up in Cornwall, Kathleen studied animation at Algonquin College and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Concordia University. Her mural, "Steps in Diversity", represents the community coming together to celebrate differences while supporting each other. The City of Cornwall is partnering with Diversity Cornwall to create a colourful mural in Lamoureux Park to reflect the diversity of our community. All Cornwall, Akwesasne & SD&G 2SLGBTQAI+ community members and allies are encouraged to apply. The design will reflect Diversity Cornwall’s mission of fostering diversity, unity, and visibility. Diversity Cornwall uses public awareness and education about the 2SLGBTQ+ community as a way to increase acceptance and inclusion, and to fight discrimination. Artists will incorporate themes of social justice, anti racism, anti homophobia, anti transphobia, inclusivity and acceptance for all members of our community of Akwesasne, Cornwall and SD&G. Some examples of social justice themes that may be incorporated include but are no limited to themes of race, gender, age, language, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, education, mental or physical ability, and socioeconomic status.
