Title
The Arrival of the First Europeans -Informational Sign
Coverage
Stanley Park, Vancouver, Canada
Description
Informational sign edited with a black sharpie pen. The original text noted that in 1792 British explorers were “stunned to find Spanish ships at Point Grey” and “were welcomed by villagers who presented gifts of fish…” Edits to this sign were made in black sharpie pen, changing the phrase “Early European explorers” to “Early European colonizers”. Also, it was noted that in addition to receiving European items such as “knives, pieces of iron, nails, buttons and sometimes guns” the Coast Silash People also “got their land stolen.”
Sidewalk chalk written in colorful letters reads "I'm Sorry for Passing judgment Instead of extending Empathy." The "a" and the top of the "y" in empathy are both hearts.

Description
This "End Familia Separation" mural is on the side of a Criminal and Immigration Law office building. It is the first in a series of six mural by the artist, focusing on the need to put humanity before hate. This artwork is 12 feet high, and the artist, Lucinda Yrene, says "The girl represents the immigrant minors in detention centers . . . the butterflies coming through the open door symbolize children being set free, and the hummingbirds are the guards". The series was aimed to be finished on April 22, 2020, a date marking ten years since Arizona's SB1070, the first law to allow questioning about immigration status and paperwork to anyone who agents might think was not in Arizona legally.
