Featured Project:

Three Straight Lines

When aligned end-to-end, three straight lines form a triangle shape. In our Three Straight Lines workshops, First Nations Women from Canada chose three words that reflect different aspects of their lives and created paintings based on each word. The resulting mosaic collage forms a sacred triangle, connecting their stories from beginning to end.
