Creating art in different mediums has really helped me in my healing journey. I want to learn more about our peoples connection with art, and hopefully take some teachings away that I can help spread through my own work. I learned how to make and sell crafts and jewellery from my mom and granny when I was between 7-9 and just want to keep that fire lit inside of me. I also want to learn from and connect with fellow artists.
Our mission is to foster connection, opportunity, and knowledge-sharing for those who create (Oshichikesiwuk). In doing so, we empower the voices of Mushkegowuk Cree to express the sacred connection between our people, water, land, and all our relations.
We envision a future where the voices of Omushkegowuk creators (Oshichikesiwuk) are empowered and valued, ensuring a legacy of harmony between culture and sustainability that resonates through generations connected to the James Bay Coast (Nanipek).
