Tamil Heritage Month 2021 Theme revolves around Remembrance, Resilience and Resistance: Reflecting the almost 75 years Eelam Tamils’ Histories and Heritage, after the colonial rule of the European Countries.
This poster is a combination of three images. The bottom picture is of the 2009 candlelight vigil (captured by Gana Arumugam of Ninaivukal) at Queen’s Park, Toronto, Canada. The middle image is the resting place of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom (created by Nishan Sanjee), and the final image on the top (created by Sujee Yoga) is of Eelam, Tamils’ traditional homeland. While these images have many embodiments of meaning, all three images together are forms of our remembrance, resilience and resistance.
The Tamils in Eelam and Canada have overcome many adversities. We have resisted and continue to resist various forms of oppression and genocide. Despite many challenges, through our resilience, we continue to grow and succeed. Most importantly, we continue to remember, as remembrance is a core part of our existence and our resistance
