We often talk of “passing down” our values and cultural practices to the next generation. In truth, intergenerational knowledge also flows up. Mothers teach their daughters, but daughters can also teach their parents.

The daughters, mothers, grandmothers and other sexual outlaws photo exhibition showcases intergenerational exchanges that are guiding sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) activism around the world. The exhibition offers a glimpse into families’ lives and activists’ work in the Philippines, Bangladesh, and El Salvador.

The Manitoba Council for International Cooperation, in partnership with Inter Pares, is pleased to bring the exhibition to RRC Polytech for the month of March. It will be showcased by the Campus Store in close proximity to the healthcare classrooms. RRC Polytech is pleased to host the exhibit in celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8) and Inclusion Week (March 9-13).

We encourage you to visit the exhibition and explore these powerful photos and their stories. All faculty, especially those that work and teach in the health sciences, are encouraged to share this information and visit with students.

Note: The exhibit was launched last year in Winnipeg and was showcased at the University of Winnipeg’s Global College. The exhibition will end its Winnipeg tour at RRC Polytech. If you are interested in ‘adopting’ a group of photos or the entire exhibit to display in your classroom, please reach out to Francesca Creta (fcreta@rrc.ca) or Andrea Ayo (sustainability@mcic.ca).
