Giizhigad [Christy B.] is an Anishinaabe Artist & cultural worker rooted in Southwest Detroit. She currently builds creatively and collaboratively with The Aadizookaan in the facets of music, dance, & mixed media design as a part of dynamic storytelling installations alchemizing the worlds we want to live in. These aadizookanan [Sacred stories] transcend time and space by being rooted in both traditional and contemporary indigenous based knowledge systems. Her creative practice extends to design/visual arts as well as photography and film. In addition to her creative practices, Christy is co-director with the Aadizookaan [ADZKN]. She is a social entrepreneur helping to shape the Aadizookaan’s work and practice. Specifically this is happening through a land-based project in Southwest Detroit to create a headquarters for the work to sustain and continue to flourish with community through artistic and cultural exchange. She builds through organic collaboration, mentorship & facilitation within ADZKN, extending out all our relatives and interconnections on Turtle Island and around the world. Her work also extends to cultural work, facilitation of workshops and community conversations, Fancy Shawl Dancing, Performance, Hand Drumming, & Singing. Peace Family, I hope you enjoy my store and I appreciate your support. I am thankful for art and how it has been an integral part of indigenous communities all throughout time. Everything I make has a spiritual meaning and I put all my love and good thoughts into my work. It really lifts up my spirits and supports me and all of my work. Follow me on IG for updates! @giizhigad ^_^ Much Love
