The work of RAAH occurs in Mi’kma’ki, the unceeded, unsurrendered land of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which did not deal with the surrender of lands, but was supposed to outline an ongoing mutual relationship. When living, working, or visiting Mi’kma’ki you are a Treaty Person, and responsible under these treaties.

As artists we continue to work towards truth and reconciliation. We encourage everyone interested in our work to learn about the land, languages, and treaties of the land you reside. Visit our Land Acknowledgement Page for learning resources.

meeting hate with beauty

Based in Community

RAAH started as a group of artists concerned with the rise in hate-motivated vandalism in Lunenburg County. We strive to continue to make our community a more welcoming and inclusive space. 

Building Inclusive Spaces Together

It takes a community. We work with volunteer artists, local private and public organizations, to ensure we continue to meet hate with beauty

Know more, to do more, for each other.

Hate motivated vandalism isn’t something we can ignore. Dog whistles, slurs, and hate symbols create unsafe spaces. Learning about hate motivated vandalism is important to help us do better for each other.

Art in public, for public, by public.

We are proud of the work we do – making our spaces more beautiful and inclusive spaces. All work done on behalf of Rural Artists Against Hate is available to view in our Portfolio.
