Commemorative art project honors victims of Komagata Maru tragedy

Redeye

In 2021, Vancouver City Council formally apologized for historical discrimination toward passengers travelling on board the Komagata Maru steamship from British India in 1914. Last month, the City unveiled special commemorative signs near the harbour honoring those impacted by the Komagata Maru tragedy. The street signs were designed by Jagandeep Nagra, a queer Punjabi visual artist and community advocate.
