Indigenous creative Sage Paul is one of several Canada-based creatives who are involved in the new showcase.
But Bear Robe’s sights are set on promoting more than the talent based on this continent as the Market continues on. “This is going to be the start,” she says of this inaugural foray into the virtual space. “I really want to build this into something larger and I have the support of the new director, Kim Peone, in this vision.
This attention to broadening the scope of who participates in the Market speaks to a larger goal of those like Bear Robe and Paul, who have built careers in advocating for the support of Indigenous creatives who exemplify a rich range of practices that draw from traditional and contemporary influences.
The Market’s platform facilitates the opportunity for consumers, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, to gain insight into the diversity within communities who have for many years been “grouped into a pan-Indigenous context”, as Bear Robe notes. “I’m from Canada, and you never really hear much about SWAIA Market there,” she says. “But down here, it’sfor Indigenous artists and designers. But it’s the same thing in the States–we don’t hear about Indigenous designers from Canada.
