 From Red Dresses to Memory Stones: Multimedia Activism and 
Gender-Based Violence in Canada 
<https://www.ubcpress.ca/from-red-dresses-to-memory-stones> (UBC Press, 
2026), by Nicolette Little, is out! Thanks to an open access grant -- 
and in order to reach scholars, change makers, and policymakers -- the 
book is being offered at $29.95. Please consider purchasing the book, or 
adopting it for your courses or your institution's library.

 From Red Dresses to Memory Stones explores five vibrant multimedia 
projects: the REDress Project, which pairs donated red dresses with 
digital elements to draw attention to Canada’s crisis of missing and 
murdered Indigenous women and girls; the Disposable Red Woman 
mixed-media installation, with the same goal; a digital memorialization 
of murdered Ontario women each anniversary of the Montreal Massacre; the 
documentary Slut or Nut, covering one activist’s journey through a rape 
trial; and the Memory Stones Project, in which beach stones are painted 
with anti-violence messages, then shared over social media for maximum 
impact. Interviews with numerous activists offer insights into their 
creative, daring, participatory, and commemorative ways of addressing 
GBV and the discourses that normalize it.
