Presented by Four Mothers Collective, “Ripple in Traditions,” co-curated by Carly Treece, Rae Riggs and Brittany Bendabout, examines the significance of traditions and how they are passed down through generations, where the act of transmission is not merely passive but an active force shaping cultures and identities. With the concept of the ripple effect, traditions echo through time. Their impact evolves, while their origins remain the same.

Each piece of art is a narrative carrying ancestral wisdom, customs and heritage forward to the next generation. Through the diverse mediums and stories in this exhibit, the artists explore the intricate bonds that bind kinship and collective memory. Four Mothers Collective is an art collective founded and run by Indigenous women, dedicated to addressing the systemic barriers and lack of representation that BIPOC women, girls and two-spirit individuals face in the art world.



These groups often encounter limited access to resources, professional development opportunities and platforms for showcasing their work. Their goal is to create inclusive spaces where these communities can express themselves, connect and thrive creatively and professionally. People are also reading.
