Indigenous artists are gathering on Zoom, where they are using craftsmanship and virtual beading circles as therapy.
—a Gwich’in jeweler based in Yellowknife, Canada—kicked off a series of virtual beading circles last week. Her gatherings, conducted via the app Zoom, offer an online meeting space where beaders of all skill levels can gather to talk through their various projects. The aim is to keep creative morale high. Larsson initially got the idea earlier this month, after partaking in a Zoom meeting for, the indigenous collective that she is a part of.
Another participant on the first Zoom was Melaw Nakehk’o, who is Dene and Denesuline, from the Liidlii Kue First Nation in the Northwest Territories. This was Nakehk’o’s first time doing a beading circle online, but the experience helped her feel a sense of calm, as well as a connection to her roots. “My late grandmother taught me how to bead when I was very young,” she says. “I feel close to her [when] I bead and draw her flowers and designs.
Larsson agrees about the healing power of the beading circle. “There’s an underlying panic and anxiety, and people really fearing for things,” she says. “Whenever you’re in a circle, you get to talk about those anxieties. It’s a nice way to be able to keep practicing our culture, sharing with each other, and giving each other tips on how to deal with the situation right now, so that you don’t feel alone.
