Research merging data and art by weaving stories of Black Caribbean-Canadian migrations using statistical records. This is a weaving of the migrational populations from 25 Caribbean countries to the various provinces in Canada in 1986 and 1996. The pattern was inspired from the Quadrille dress, a bespoke dress worn by women in Caribbean countries.
