Centering Indigenous knowl edges and land-based making practices, this course offers students a decolonizing perspective that theoretically and critically engages the relationships between Fashion, garment construction and Land. This course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of holistic and slow design grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing and being. Students will be introduced to a series of Indigenous design practices such as beadwork, quillwork, tanning and tufting techniques, being attentive to the topic of cultural appropriation. On-the-Land engagements will help students understand individual and collective relationships to Land as makers, thinkers and designers, which will inform their design considerations throughout the course.Weekly
