Join us for our artist discussion about their work and who they are as artists. There will be a live Q&A at the end of each discussion.
Christal Ratt, Pidabinikwe, is an award-winning Algonquin Anishnabe artist from the Mitchikinabikok Inik – Algonquins of Barriere Lake. Christal’s awards include Best of Division, First, Second and Honourable Mentions in the Beadwork, Quillwork and Diverse Arts categories at prestigious art shows such SWAIA Santa Fe Indian Market in Santa Fe NM, Heard Guild Museum Market in Phoenix AZ, and Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market Indianapolis IN. At a young age, Christal was taught how to bead and sew by her Mom. Her parents and relatives inspire her to keep working with Wiigwas / Birch Bark to create a range of items from jewelry and diverse arts.
