Info:
Gathering of Styles is a combination of showcased artwork and an art “get down”. Our goal is to bring the essence back into the “Gathering of Nations”. Powwows are supposed to be a social gathering that is backed by community support, traditional song, dance, creativity and self-expression.
Unfortunately, Indians are romanticized and exploited and Gathering of Nations is no exception. As young folks we see the need to come together and bring the flava back, bring that essence of powwow back but do it in a beautiful and authentic way. Our hope is to create an event that is not the typical "Gatherings" shin-dig.
There will be an art exhibition to honor the Kiowa 5. This year we are recognizing the Kiowa 5 for laying the foundation, paying dues and paving the way for indigenous art. In appreciation for all their hard work and accomplishment we will show our love and respect through artwork & self expression with an indigenous flava.
Other events will include artists showcases, live music, live art, dance exhibitions and a red (community) market.
We want to provide space for indigenous hustlers. The idea behind the "red market" is to provide a conscious indigenous marketplace not a corporate one. The goal of red market is to provide a space for the community to come together and support one another.
Lastly this is a FREE event we are not charging to vend or get into the jam.
If you have homies that would like vend please spread the word.
