Join us on Friday, September 19, for a hands-on dyeing workshop as we prepare for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. 

The orange shirt is a symbol of the experiences of Indigenous children, families, and communities harmed by the residential school system, and a reminder that Every Child Matters. Ahead of Orange Shirt Day (September 30), the IFRC and the Textiles and Materialities Research Cluster invite the Concordia community to come together to learn, reflect, and create. 

Led by Prof. Geneviève Moisan, this workshop will introduce participants to the process of fabric dyeing while also opening space for discussion about the history and significance of Orange Shirt Day. 

Participants are encouraged to bring a natural-fiber shirt to dye, or purchase one provided by us (limited sizes and quantities available). All proceeds from this event will go towards the Indigenous Health Centre of Tiohtià:ke.  

This event is free and open to the Concordia community, but space is limited and registration is required. 

Time: Friday, September 19, 2025, from 1-4 PM
Location: VA Building Courtyard
Registration: https://forms.gle/9mtQGKu99kkXsqEf9

Generously supported by the Milieux Institute for Arts, Culture and Technology and the Concordia Research Chair in Onkwehonwené:ha.
