Similar in effect to death by a thousand paper cuts, the repetition of microaggressions can wear a person down. To raise awareness of their harmful impact, Canada's leading DEI groups joined forces to launch The Micropedia, the first encyclopedia of microaggressions. A poster series helped drive visitors to The Micropedia. Using paper to highlight the depth of the harm, each poster features a common microaggression on the outside of a silhouette, while the internalized trauma remains deep within.
