Sacred Strength Ribbon skirt Exhibition
A student led reconciliation experience
Muskoka Arts and Crafts Gallery
63 Manitoba St. Bracebridge Ontario
"Sewing is becoming a lost art in this world of fast fashion. Most of my students are new to sewing, it is not something they grew up with. If they do know a bit about sewing it is often their grandmother that showed them how to thread a needle or sew on a button. These skirts are not perfect, they are not sewn by master sewers. They are sewn by teenagers who want to share with you their new learning, their personal experience and their newfound Indigenous knowledge."
Connie Verkuyl, Fashion teacher
Huron Heights Secondary School Kitchener Ontario
May 31-June 22, 2024

Sacred Strength:
An Indigenous ribbon Skirt Installation
Hope Arises Project Inc. is proud to present, Sacred Strength, an Indigenous ribbon skirt installation. Hope Arises Project founder and president, Joyce Jonathan Crone, travelled to Huron Heights Secondary School to share her knowledge of Indigenous ribbon skirts and cultural practices with grade 11/12 fashion students. The students spent a month sewing and crafting unique skirts, they wrote profound emotion filled reflections on their connection and the humbling experience.
​
Ribbon skirts reflect our connection to Mother Earth, to one another and to our value as Indigenous women.
Through this exhibit, student seamstresses hope you will find peace, relationship, and community. It is their expression of Truth and Reconciliation.
​
