SACRED STRENGTH: An Indigenous Ribbon Skirt Installation

Hope Arises Project Inc. is proud to present Sacred Strength, an Indigenous ribbon skirt installation from September 5-30th at the HfA Studio.

Hope Arises Project founder and president, Joyce Jonathan Crone, travelled to Huron Heights Secondary School to share her knowledge of Indigenous ribbon skirts and cultural practices with grade 11/12 fashion students. The students spent a month sewing and crafting unique skirts, they wrote profound emotion filled reflections on their connection and the humbling experience.

Ribbon skirts reflect our connection to Mother Earth, to one another and to our value as Indigenous women. Through this exhibit, student seamstresses hope you will find peace, relationship, and community. It is their expression of Truth and Reconciliation.

Saturdays | 1pm-4pm
Sundays | 1pm-4pm
Exhibition runs from September 5-30, 2024 at the HfA Studio located at 58 Main St. East (entrance across from River Mill Park)
