Radical Stitch
Beading is one of the defining mediums of contemporary Indigenous art on this continent, Radical Stitch exhibit brings much-needed critical attention to the breadth and impact of this practice.
From early beads made of seeds and shells, to trade beads and computer pixels, Indigenous artists have long used beadwork to tell stories, honour loved ones, and celebrate beauty. As they embrace techniques and knowledge passed from previous generations, today’s Indigenous artists are using beading to address concerns and concepts related to history, decolonization and resistance.
