Shirt/Chemise

  • Weaving

Handwoven shirt constructed of two panels sewn together with head and arm openings that are finished with braids and fringe. The bottom two thirds are woven with a bright multi-coloured diamond pattern. This shirt would be worn by Karen women after they are married.

Chemise tissée à la main, composée de deux panneaux cousus ensemble avec des ouvertures pour la tête et les bras, et se terminant par des tresses et des franges. Les deux tiers inférieurs présentent un motif à losanges aux multiples couleurs vives. Cette chemise serait portée par des femmes karènes après leur mariage.

The C2 Centre for Craft  is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
