Rezilience Model
Produced by Seeing Red, Runway of Rezilience is an Indigenous-led multidisciplinary arts and cultural experience that brings Indigenous artists, designers, musicians, performers, makers and storytellers together with audiences to celebrate, experience and support Indigenous creative expression. At its heart is a simple belief: Indigenous creativity deserves to be seen, heard, experienced and celebrated.

Now in its third year, this edition's theme, Skywalkers, celebrates the Mohawk and Haudenosaunee ironworkers whose skill and courage built the skylines of New York and Toronto, honoured through fashion, storytelling, and culture. Expect a runway of Indigenous designers, immersive activations, an Indigenous marketplace, a curated culinary scene, and live performances from Indigenous artists Natasha Fisher and LOV.

Runway of Rezilience provides a platform for empowerment, representation, unity, and rezilience, continuing to mark pivotal moments in history and create space for the next generation of storytellers and visionaries.

Join us September 26th at Evergreen Brickworks.
