üç ruh / three spirits workshops

Tracing the workshop process that grew into üç ruh / three spirits, seventeen Indigenous and other BIPOC women and 2-Spirit survivors came together over four sessions to share stories, transform grief into movement, and create their own spirits through writing, drawing, and dance. Guided by the archetypes of the Life-Giver, Weaver, and Warrior, these gatherings became spaces of connection and resilience, honouring those who are missing within the ongoing crisis of MMIWG2ST (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, 2-Spirit, and Trans people).
