Sovereign Stitches + Wild Weaves

Sovereign Stitches + Wild Weaves, curated by Wanda Nanibush and Sage Paul, brings together more than 35 Indigenous artists from around the world whose work challenges the borders between contemporary art, culture, fashion, design and traditional practice. The Indigenous art, fashion and textiles on exhibition will touch on embodiment, queer storytelling, cultural beautification, adornment, storytelling, tattooing, trade, activism, and conservation.

The exhibition is a treatise on the centrality of creation to kinship and vice versa, and forefronts the notion of building ancestral futures from within Indigenous notions of time. The artworks will be organized aesthetically and thematically, in eight themes.
