Experience the power of Indigenous art and storytelling in this captivating video showcasing the creation of a Coast Salish weaving and a graphic emblem for SFU Beedie's Indigenous Business Leadership Executive MBA program. Witness the collaboration between master weaver Angela George and graphic designer Ta7talíya as they bring traditional knowledge and contemporary design together.

Journey through the process of decolonization and indigenization as the Beedie School of Business embraces Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing. Learn about the significance of the weaving's placement in the entrance hall of the Segal Graduate School, symbolizing a welcoming space for Indigenous students and visitors.

Discover the rich symbolism behind the artwork, including the zigzag pattern representing the non-linear journey of education and transformation. Understand how this project honours the experiences of past students while forging stronger relationships with local First Nations.

This video highlights the importance of visual representation in academic spaces and demonstrates SFU Beedie's commitment to economic reconciliation. Join us in celebrating this fusion of tradition and modernity, as we explore how art can create more inclusive and representative environments for learning and working in community.
