Cultural Context
weaving; contemporary art
Narrative
The Musqueam, and other Coast Salish peoples, come from a long tradition of weaving. Although contemporary makers weave for a variety of reasons, several of the weavers at Musqueam have said their weaving enables them to connect with their ancestors and at the same time leave a cultural legacy for future generations. Many weave primarily for personal use and for gifts to family and friends, while others weave as a profession and sell their work to art dealers and museums. In recent years they have also received commissions from large corporations, such as Paramount Studios and the Vancouver Airport.
