Adopted by the United Nations in 2005, World Day of Remembrance is an international day of reflection honoring victims of traffic crashes and their families. It takes place on the third Sunday in November every year. Locally, The Denver Streets Partnership (DSP) is organizing a week-long series of events promoting WDR beginning Sunday, November 10 – Sunday, November 17, 2019.
We are seeking an artist to lead the design and creation of a temporary, public, week-long art installation, helping to build undeniable momentum and action for the Vision Zero movement in conjunction with World Day of Remembrance. The art will be located in the Voorhies Memorial in Civic Center Park (along Colfax) and should incorporate some representation of the number of people killed in traffic crashes on Denver’s streets, as well as lend a human face to a dire safety epidemic, too often viewed as tragically inevitable versus wholey preventable.
