This program is free and open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, with priority given to BIPOC and youth (age 15-29) registrants. Dates will be announced shortly. 

Join us in promoting generational wellness, the disruption of colonial amnesia tactics, and breaking down the barrier between city-living and connection to the land! Through a series of collaborative happenings, the Seeding and Beading initiative explores how the use of plant medicines can contribute the transforming sites of difficult histories within our communities through actions of community-mapping and counter-memorialization. 

Seeding and Beading is a Treaty Space Gallery and NSCAD Art Education thesis initiative funded by Indigenous Youth Roots.
