The Goods from the Museum of Vancouver

Vancouver, BC | Join Becky Lyon, creator of Pow Wow Jackets, in an upcoming virtual workshop where you can create your own ‘Pow Wow Jacket’ adorned with ribbons. Pow Wow jackets are everyday streetwear that embody regalia that is worn at Powwows and are meant to be worn by anyone, every day.

No experience is necessary, and all are welcome. Participants will learn how to create their own jacket or vest as well as learning from Becky about culture, identity inspiration, and using your work as a tool to decolonization, decolonizing fashion.

*Materials will be provided, but participants will need to bring their own denim vest or jacket and a glue gun with glue, and scissors.
