Orange Shirt Draw & Design Workshop
September 23 | 15:00 - 17:00
Clusters: Indigenous Futures
Join IFRC and Textiles & Materiality Research Center on September 23, 2025, for part two of their Orange Shirt Day workshop as we prepare for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The orange shirt is a symbol of the experiences of Indigenous children, families, and communities harmed by the residential school system, and a reminder that Every Child Matters. Ahead of Orange Shirt Day (September 30), the IFRC and the Textiles and Materialities Research Cluster invite the Concordia community to come together to learn, reflect, and create.
Led by multidisciplinary Inuk artist Jason Sikoak, this workshop will introduce participants to drawing practices while also opening space for discussion about the history and significance of Orange Shirt Day. Participants from the Orange Shirt Dyeing Workshop (Friday, September 19) are encouraged to embellish their newly dyed garments! We will also have patches available on site for new folks who wish to participate.
This event is free and open to the public, though donations are encouraged. All proceeds will go to the Indigenous Health Centre of Tiohtià:ke.
Space is limited so registration is required.
