GENERATIONS
Weaving Culture, History, and Wisdom
In the intricate threads of Generations, lies a profound narrative of cultural resilience and the timeless wisdom passed down through the ages. Inspired by the rich history of the Musqueam people, renowned for their mastery in weaving blankets that were not just utilitarian but sacred emblems of tradition, law and knowledge, this blanket embodies the essence of intergenerational storytelling.
The design of waves, borrowed from a 200 year old Salish blanket in a Finland museum, intertwines with Aleen’s arrows, Debra’s zigzags, and Isaiah’s butterflies to form a design of continuity, illustrating the seamless transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next.
"Generations" serves as a poignant reminder of the imperative to safeguard our cultural inheritance, ensuring that the teachings, stories, and values of our ancestors endure. Like the threads that bind it, this blanket weaves together the past, present, and future, forging a timeless connection between generations and preserving the essence of who we are. Through its warmth and symbolism, it beckons us to embrace our collective responsibility to nurture and protect our cultural designs for the generations yet to come.
Wash in cold. Hang to dry
