Join us for a very special opportunity to learn the traditional Indigenous art of cedar-hat weaving from Jessica Sault, Nuu-chah-nulth from the Tseshaht First Nation, and Cheyanne Tinoco from the Cowichan Nation.This workshop offers a unique chance to listen to the teachings of Jessica and Cheyanne, whose knowledge is deeply rooted in the cultural practice of cedar weaving.
In honour of upcoming National Truth and Reconciliation Day, we will also reflect on the works of Ursula Johnson, a Mi’kmaq artist featured in the Generations exhibition. Ursula's practice emphasizes the power of intergenerational learning and cultural continuum, enriching our understanding of Indigenous ways of being, seeing, and walking.
Spaces are limited: Register today!
