Fashion meets Tradition as Yukon First Nations celebrate high school graduation and the departure into the future. It‘s a significant moment for the graduates when they are celebrated by their communities, dressed in Graduation Regalia. For months and years in advance, families and friends come together to create the garments for their children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Regalia is much more than festive clothing; it is deeply rooted in the traditions of the cultures and tailored to the body and soul of its wearers. Graduation Regalia tells the story of the significance of personal and cultural identities, the appreciation of education, and hopes for the future.

in the Yukon!
An exhibition by the Yukon Arts Centre, curated by Lisa Dewhurst.
