Métis Artists Present Beading Métis Resurgence Exhibition

Beading Métis Resurgence opened at the University of Winnipeg's Gallery 1C03, running through April 17, featuring five Métis artists including Jennine Krauchi and Claire Johnston. The show centers Krauchi’s touring work The Lady and Johnston’s octopus bag, which includes an explicitly anti-AI beaded message, highlighting tensions between slow craft ethics and rapid AI technologies. The exhibition foregrounds mentorship and contemporary directions in Métis beadwork.
