Artivism Expressions and Wall Yums will be displayed from today until Oct. 30 at the University of Northern BC's Rotunda, with various projects from communities of vulnerability. Artivism expressions are art pieces with a message, sometimes an ugly message, sometimes a controversial message. Wall Yums are gentler explorations in beauty or stories. Wall Yums are canvases being sold to raise funds for similar future projects and for the UNBC Women’s Center.
