Our first workshop on Monday brought together the 2027 participants to begin a new chapter of storytelling, connection, and creativity. Over the coming months, the women will take part in a series of writing workshops, developing personal stories inspired by a pair of shoes and the experiences they carry. The process will culminate in public readings at SkirtsAfire Festival this March. We’re looking forward to seeing what emerges and sharing their work with you! The Shoe Project is presented by SkirtsAfire in partnership with @ywca_edmonton. 🌟 Thank you to our sponsors and supporters: @ywcacanada, @edmontoncommunityfoundation, @yegarts, @kunitz_shoes, Allard Foundation, Butler Family Foundation, and @beetogether.ca! 🌟

🔥 A new SkirtsAfire tradition! 🔥 Last night, memb 🔥 A new SkirtsAfire tradition! 🔥 Last night, members of our board and leadership came together to reconnect, welcome some new faces, and remind ourselves why we do what we do. We took time to reflect, share what SkirtsAfire means to us, and recommit to the work we’re building together. A festival takes a lot of people, care, and collaboration to bring to life. Last night was a chance to celebrate the people behind SkirtsAfire and remember what we’re all working toward together. Special thank you to our Board President, Arron Best (@meatgoddess), for hosting us and for the delicious charcuterie! Here’s a little peek at our evening! ❤️‍🔥

SkirtsAfire respectfully acknowledges that we are telling stories on the traditional and ancestral homeland of diverse Indigenous peoples including Nehiyawak (Cree), Metis, Inuit, Dene, Blackfoot, Saulteaux and Nakota Sioux, who have lived and travelled through this place thousands of years before us. We are all treaty people and as settlers to Treaty 6 Territory, which is also home to Métis Settlements and the Métis Nation of Alberta, we are striving to better listen, understand and learn from the Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. We respect and celebrate the languages, history and culture of the First Nations, Metis and Inuit whose presence continues to enrich this vibrant community here in ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ, Amiskwacîwâskahikan, also known as Edmonton, and at SkirtsAfire.
