Robin Little Wing Sigo (Suquamish/Duwamish), co-curator of the Indigenous Craft exhibition, will facilitate a conversation with Suquamish Tribal Members about Coast Salish fashion, presenting historical and present day images and what those tell us about the future. A special focus will be on Indigenous futurism and the ancestral charge of energy, politics, and style. Additional themes include:

Craft vs. art
Coast Salish art vs. formline art
The value of craft in relation to time, labor, and cultural knowledge
Audience Q&A and festive reception to follow.
