The Ikwewak are First Nation women who are very active in their communities. They are ceremonially clothed in couture creations which likewise radically transform common building materials. Here, Monnet presents embodied voices in her manifestation of a creative futurism. These bold figures have stepped away from conscribed anthropological pasts. They claim space for eccentricity, exuding elegance with a natural resilience. Codes of high fashion bring strength to their contemporary regalia, cloaked with purpose. They look directly at the camera, demanding to be seen with quiet reserve, they step up and want to be a part of social politics and of building a future for next generations.
