Join Vesterheim Museum and the artists of the exhibit, Leading With Our Hearts: Nordic, Sami, and Ojibwe Designs from Nature, for an online presentation. Alison Aune, Chi Ma’iingan, Laurel Sanders, Wendy Savage, and Marlene Wisuri will talk about their contributions to the exhibit and the cultural and ancestral roots of their work in textiles, wood, and paint. Free registration for the Zoom link is required.
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.
