Collab quilt collective
We self-identify as artists, folx, parents and grandparents who are sewing transformative textile conversations to unsettle divergent and overlapping colonial inheritances. The form of the conversational quilt creates space to unlearn, grapple and build relationships with inherited materials, skills and more-than-human neighbours. In striving to create more relational family legacies, we incorporate slow and diverse ecological material processes grounded in aspen parkland and prairie ecosystems. Our work acknowledges complex colonial harms and erasures while navigating interwoven histories across Indigenous territories in what is now known as Canada.
