q̓emxwéqsem (to tie a knot at the end of your thread)

August 8 2024 @ 10:00 am - September 26 2024 @ 5:30 pm PDT

Cost: Free

Serena Steel’s exhibition, q̓emxwéqsem (to tie a knot at the end of your thread), celebrates the intricate art of hand-stitching, embodying meticulous craftsmanship reminiscent of traditional Secwépemc practices such as beadwork and basketry. Each artwork is a deliberate creation that reflects Steel’s deep connection to her land and cultural heritage.

Through her works, Steel explores themes of belonging and stewardship, infusing every object with personal memories and stories that anchor her to her home. q̓emxwéqsem serves as a poignant reminder of the value of slow, deliberate work in an era dominated by mass production and rapid consumption, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship and the ceremonial nature of each stitch.
