“What I’ve gained through the residency is all these connections with all these amazing people doing the work,” Wiarda said. Later on, her mother walked in one of her designs.
The show, Wiarda said, defies the idea that Indigenous culture only happens on reservations, while bridging connections between younger generations of Indigenous people. For a long time, she said, Indigenous elders, especially, have been afraid to showcase their culture outside of designated safe spaces.
Khadjenoury, who was among the contemporary designers, said she started designing and sewing when she was young, with guidance from her grandmother. She also works as a TV and film producer. That’s one of the things Julee Groves — the first person Wiarda asked to be in the show — was most excited about. Groves, who grew up in Magna, said she didn’t connect with her Indigenous culture until after her father’s death. For her, being a model in Indigenous wear is a dream come true.
