Inspired by a Two-Spirit fashion show held as part of the Walker Art Center’s Terrace Thursdays program, I commissioned art historian Amber-Dawn Bear Robe (Siksika/Blackfoot) as guest editor for a related Soundboard four-way discussion on Indigenous fashion. She contributed writing and invited three others to contribute as well: potter/designer Virgil Ortiz (Cochiti Pueblo), designer/online retailer Jessica Metcalfe, PhD (Turtle Mountain Chippewa), and designer Sage Paul (Denesųłįné) to tackled the question, “How can fashion be indigenized?” The package was enhanced by a magazine-style graphic created by the talented Walker digital designer, Jasio Stefanski. Please give all four essays a read!
