Ojibwe, Sámi, and Nordic artisans have always decorated domestic objects and ceremonial clothing with sacred patterns. Traditional arctic designs, woodland and garden flowers, vines, leaves, and berries symbolize a spiritual relationship with nature. Today, artists featured in this exhibition are preserving, reinterpreting, and revitalizing cultural patterns. This exhibit shares their work as they explore and honor their cultural roots and ancestral traditions through art with goals of unity, healing, and celebration.
