This Series offers diverse workshops that pass invaluable knowledge and skill to push personal artistic boundaries, stimulate the creation of new works and promote important discussion around culture, tradition and artistic development. The workshops are open to everyone of any age, gender or culture, to learn about and discuss Indigenous culture within an urban framework.

As a result of these research and development workshops, Setsuné will curate a collaborative new body of artworks in any area of fashion, textiles and wearable art that addresses a common theme. In 2016, this inaugural Collective Creation Project was titled Indian Giver: Truth Telling and Narratives of Representation, in response to cultural appropriation.

About the Setsuné Indigenous Fashion Incubator

 

Setsuné (set-soon-eh) means grandmother in the Dene language and we use it to acknowledge intergenerational crossovers, blood memory and oral histories expressed through fashion and the arts. The Setsuné Indigenous Fashion Incubator fosters the creation and exhibition of new works by Indigenous artists working in traditional and contemporary fashion, textiles and wearable art. Our partnerships with industry, galleries and allies promote Indigenous fashion and material-based art across diverse cultures and sectors.  Setsuné is a Collective comprised of women artists, designers, managers and community members Sage Paul, Erika Iserhoff and Louise Solomon; we follow the spirit of a not-for-profit organization within an Indigenous framework. Setsuné Inc. is an extension of the Incubator focused on the economic development and wellbeing of Indigenous women entrepreneurs who work in fashion, textiles and apparel retail. www.setsuneincubator.com

 

Workshops are open to everyone to build understanding of our culture and traditions and to encourage strong, cross-cultural partnerships. There are sponsorships available for Indigenous women and mothers (16-35) to access the workshop series.
