MaNiiTo II’NiNiiWak- (Creative Power People) Creative Sovereignty: The Power of Indigenous Artists Exhibit
This diverse collection highlights the intricate skills of Native artists, showcasing everything from traditional beadwork, pottery, basket weaving and gourd art to modern works that blend ancestral themes with new creative innovations and pop culture. Each piece serves as both a personal expression and a statement of cultural resilience and identity. Indigenous art in this exhibit is more than aesthetic; it is an act of tribal sovereignty and defiance: a refusal to let the impact of colonization erase the deeply rooted traditions and spiritual connections to the land and ancestors.
Apartment Swap
While writing the sequel to her best-selling romance novel Consuela the Suffragist, Lily enrolls in an apartment swapping program to find a bigger apartment for her and Gordon, her long-distance fiancé, to live in and continue their respective writing careers. As Lily wonders if marriage will restrict her protagonist, she tries answering that question for herself as she meets three newly-single women, like the ghosts of relationships past. Meanwhile, her Bridgerton-esque novel begins playing out in her dreams.
