It was a privilege at the end of the Summer 2021 to be out on the Land in Southern Alberta with Cree artist, Sandra Lamouche, to capture her brilliant dance & poetry piece entitled, Gather. The video of her performance will be screening on-demand at the Matriarchs Uprising festival this month, from February 14–19, 2022. Click the image to see Sandra's work alongside other "Indigenous women weaving stories of transformation"!

"Gather is a work in progress that uses land based practices and processes. Soniyaw niyipsi (silver willow) is the inspiration, the seeds of the berries were made into necklaces and worn for spiritual protection. They are ripe in late summer and early fall, so they are ready to be used at the time when traditionally people were less mobile. An ideal time to do beadwork."


​Here are the Festival details:
