Protest Banner Lending Library 

If you are interested in borrowing from our Protest Library, please contact us at bookings@cfmdc.org

Conceived by multidisciplinary artist and writer Aram Han Sifuentes (she/they), the Protest Banner Lending Library exists at the intersection of textile art, social practice, and activism. The library reflects the work of multiple workshop participants led by Aram at CFMDC in April 2019, encouraged to express their unique social and political messages through protest banners. 

​

The purpose of the Library is to promote community and resource collaboration by trading knowledge, skills, ideas, and materials, ensuring everyone's voice is heard. 

​

CFMDC is a permanent branch of the Protest Banner Lending Library. The banners are available to borrow free of charge for a range of different occasions, such as protests, parades, demonstrations, teaching purposes, etc.

TERRITORY & SOLIDARITY: The daily work of CFMDC takes place in Tkaronto (Toronto) which is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. We also acknowledge The Dish with One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee that covers the land of what is now called southern Ontario. We work with the knowledge of the importance of recognition of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the four First Nations Principles of OCAP®. As a Media Arts organization we draw your attention to the work of the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition (NIMAC). As part of  anti-colonial solidarity, CFMDC board and staff proudly commits to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Calls to support PACBI and the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) come from Palestinian civil society and are grassroots strategies opposing the colonization of Palestine by directly targeting complicity.
