Artists-in-Residence Project | Office of Indigenous Education | Faculty of Education | SFU

We are honoured to walk with master weaver, qʷənat Angela Paul from the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and Sts’ailes Nations and Aaron “Splash” Nelson-Moody, woodcarver from Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation, as they provide meaningful and transformative educational experiences for students and in-service teachers to learn and gain a deep understanding of cultural, traditional, and contemporary Indigenous arts practices.

The two artists are working collaboratively on a project that will honour living Indigenous practices of carving and weaving. Splash will be carving two sets of traditional weaving tools and looms; one set will be specifically designed for Angela for weaving and the other set will be gifted to SFU to be used by students, staff, and faculty.
Instructors can book a 50-minute time slot (divided into two 20-minute visits depending on class size). We recommend that instructors prepare a 20-minute complimentary activity that will support deeper learning for students while waiting to visit the AiR. Students can “flip” midway through the visit.

The Indigenous Gathering Space (EDB 8651) is located near the museum and may be available to be booked for your planned complimentary activity. Teaching resources related to the Artists-in-Residence program are available on a Canvas site. Please indicate if you would like access to the Indigenous Gathering Space and the AiR resource page.
