Skawennati’s practice explores Indigenous futures through the lens of a Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) woman and cyberpunk avatar, blending Hotinonshón:ni storytelling with digital media to create powerful, visionary narratives. Using machinimas and machinimagraphs (movies and still images made in virtual environments), sculpture, textiles and performance, she reimagines a world where Indigenous Peoples thrive. Her work transforms personal and communal hopes into new realities – spaces that empower, reclaim ways of being and challenge historical narratives.
The most comprehensive book on her career to date, Skawennati: Welcome to the Dreamhouse features vibrant reproductions of key works alongside critical essays examining her impact. The title references notions of home, a child’s dollhouse, and the longhouse – central to Hotinonshón:ni culture. The publication invites readers to explore a future where Indigenous Peoples lead and shape our collective worldview.

Unit price perWahsontiio Cross, Helen Gregory, Maize Longboat, Matthew Ryan Smith
In Skawennati's experience, the setting of the creation story, Skyworld, has always been depicted as Terran, pre-contact, Iroquoia, with people living in wooden longhouses, wearing clothing made from animal hides, and using clay pots. Skawennati wants to imagine Skyworld as another planet, a sustainable, peaceful, and technically-advanced society.
Curated by Matthew Ryan Smith, the exhibition From Skyworld to Cyberspace gathers a number of Skawennati's works which, together, trace a line from our place of origin somewhere in the heavens to the virtual realm, one of the newest territories on Earth. This line sometimes curves, sometimes becomes invisible, but along it are Onkwehonwe—Indigenous people—alive and kicking. These works are also a result of Skawennati's continuous investigation of cultural construction, contemporary Indigenous self-representation in cyberspace, and of our growing relationships with the digital world.

Indigenous artists have long used beadwork to tell stories, honour loved ones and celebrate beauty. Using techniques and knowledge passed from previous generations, today’s Indigenous artists are using beading to address concerns related to history, decolonization and resistance. Radical Stitch – the largest contemporary beadwork exhibition to date – presents a wealth of works ranging from wearable art and portraiture to installation and video that connect past and present as they imagine new worlds.
The accompanying catalogue celebrates the innovative art of 56 artists from across Turtle Island who have exhibited at most or all of the venues for this touring exhibition. In full, vivid colour, this publication presents 30 figures and 82 plates of their selected artworks, which reflect a range of humour, poignant testimony, and political and social commentary.
