In this episode, Jessica is joined by Angela Demontigny to share her high end journey.
Angela Demontigny is an award winning Cree/Métis designer and artist whose designs present a contemporary side of Indigenous art and culture to the world while honouring her ancestors. Her art and designs are a modern reclamation of culture and identity as well as a means to educate people about Indigenous knowledge and worldviews.
A trailblazer and pioneer of Indigenous luxury fashion for over two decades, her original collections have graced runways around the world. She is a passionate advocate for sustainability and slow fashion and follows these principles throughout her design process. Angela is also known for being a fierce auntie and offers her time as a mentor and supporter of Indigenous women entrepreneurs and young designers not only in her community but around the world. An in-demand public speaker and workshop facilitator, she strives to not only educate people about Indigenous culture, history and worldviews through art and design but inspires her audiences to think, practice creativity and team build in a way that challenges their preconceived ideas and embraces Indigenous ways of knowing and being. .Always looking for new ways to create, she is becoming just as well known for her gorgeous Indigenous wellness products under the brand LODGE Soy Candles. She acknowledges that her ability to create beautiful, intentional scents using essential oils from Indigenous plants comes from ancestral knowledge channeled through her grandmothers. Helping others is important to her and something she strives for in everything she does.
Also an accomplished artist, Angela was awarded a major public art commission in 2020 for her groundbreaking ‘All Our Relations’ sculpture that is slated for installation on Hamilton’s waterfront in Sept. 2023. She Is looking forward to creating this public art legacy for the City which will include an education component and programming for Hamilton youth.
