All about the arts: Fashion, books and photography

She was the first fashion designer to combine haute couture with her Haida culture. You may have seen some of her graceful designs — a blend of contemporary and traditional — from wool and cashmere scarves and coats to suits and silk gowns walking a red carpet or two. For 30 years, Dorothy Grant has been spinning legends into contemporary styles.

 

CBC stations across the country are pitching in to help raise funds for local food banks, often with the help of musical guests. Sierra Noble recently performed at CBC Manitoba's annual fundraiser where she shared her own connection to the local food bank.

Faces peer from the screen. Their eyes search for answers, make statements, and say we are still here. They are the images of Indigenous people across Canada and the U.S. And for the past 10 years, Nadya Kwandibens has been sharing their story through her photographs.

We're reconvening our Indigenous Reads book panel just ahead of the holidays to discuss Drew Hayden Taylor's, Take Us to Your Chief. And don't miss the announcement of our fourth book!
