Chi migz to everyone who came out to support my first exhibition! 🫶🏼

My heart feels so full after our opening reception. This exhibit was deeply meaningful to me as it honoured the Bodéwadmi matriarchs in my family and the generations of kwek who made me who I am today. So many hugs, tears, stories, and loving moments were shared, and I left feeling incredibly held by community. ❣️

A few of my pieces are still on display at until June 8th if you would still like to visit them. ✨
