Spirit Seeds – Museums of Mississauga

February 8 - August 3

Free

Immerse yourself in the intricate and beautiful world of Indigenous beadwork at Spirit Seeds. Curated by Indigenous artist Naomi Smith (Chippewas of Nawash, Neyaashiinigmiing, Ontario), this exhibition presents a rich visual exploration of beadwork from the Woodlands and Great Lakes Regions and present-day examples of the art form.

Tiny glass seed beads hand-sewn onto pieces ranging from the decorative to functional items are known as “Little Spirits” in some Indigenous Languages. Spirit Seeds showcases post contact trade-era beads, historical beadwork and contemporary beadwork. Featuring work by local Indigenous artists, beadwork is still a critical part of personal creative expression and Indigenous culture today.
