For legendary artist Joyce Growing Thunder and her descendants, beadwork is a way of life. Their journey to preserve Dakota and Nakoda artistic knowledges continues with their latest project, an ambitious set of women’s regalia.
Beadwork Knowledges is an artist-led documentary film project centered on Dakota and Nakoda women’s artistic traditions and how one family keeps those traditions alive and vibrant. The Growing Thunder Collective serve as co-creators, telling their own stories.
