Northern Women Arts Collaborative

This project is to help promote and raise awareness of the Arctic and traditional roles of women in the past relating to clothing and textile production . We hope to bring the social sciences and the arts together so that ideas and concepts explored through more academic venues are shared and dissipated through the arts.
