Edmonton based artist Riaz Mehmood strives to capture the complexities of his homeland, Khyber Paskhtunkhwa, Pakistan. On December 16, 2014, 134 school children and 15 adults were killed when heavily armed militants stormed the Army Public School & College in nearby Peshawar. As a vital tool of resistance, the community is committed to remembering those who were lost, in their continued search for justice. In Remember/Resist/Relive, Mehmood tenderly crafts a space to honour this terrible loss, and to gently hold their grief.
