Woven and beaded objects reign in this new North Van art exhibition. It challenges the idea that this kind of work only exists in a historical context, and curator Adele ᒪᐢᑿᓱᐏᐢᑵᐤ Arseneau aims to bring the art (and the current living cultures that practice it) into the spotlight. Participating artists include Adele ᒪᐢᑿᓱᐏᐢᑵᐤ Arseneau, Nathalie Bertin, Naomi Bourque, Salisha Old Bull (work pictured above), Melody Markle and Michelle Sound.
