More Than Just an Indigenous Beader with Ori Aguila (They/Them/Him)
Update: 2023-04-04
Description
Today, I’m joined by Indigenous artist and beader, Ori Aguila (they/them/him). Together, we discuss making culturally significant art that evolves with the study and growth of one’s heritage.
We also talk about:
- The influence of color theory in Ori’s work
- How making art & making money work hand in hand
- Ori’s journey as a transracial adoptee
- Ori’s practice of being very careful about the energy that influences their work
- The private and transformative work of reconnecting with ancestral culture
- Upholding a boundary around access to yourself and your story
