Ceremony Blankets, Rick Kagigebi

January 14 – February 15, 2025 • Textile Center
February 21 – March 21, 2025 • Gizhiigin Arts Incubator

Rick Kagigebi (Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe) is a blanket maker whose mural blankets, created as ceremonial gifts, are shaped by every aspect — from the sketch to the fabric selections, sewing, and tying — to hold storytelling significance.

A History of the Heart, Amber Jensen

January 14 – April 5, 2025 • Textile Center

Amber Jensen combines the labor-intensive processes of handloom weaving with her own improvisations to alter surface and form, drawing stories out of thread and cloth in an ongoing search for sense of place, self, and belonging.
