From Hate to Hope: An immersive exhibit
This exhibit stems from the Inquiry into the rise of hate during the COVID-19 pandemic, conducted by B.C.’s Human Rights Commissioner in March 2023.
This audio-visual experience captures the voices, images and art from the inquiry process, the final Hate to Hope report, a series of public murals, and many community discussions about hate and hope involving young people, diverse communities and artists across the province.
