4KINSHIP INDIGENOUS FUTURES 4EVER

4KINSHIP is excited to announce INDIGENOUS FUTURES 4EVER, an extraordinary experiential fashion show during Santa Fe Indian Market, sponsored by Build Native with Shopify, an initiative dedicated to empowering Indigenous brands of all sizes in establishing and growing their businesses. This event is being produced in cross border allyship with Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week, Supernatural Models, and Snotty Nose Rez Kids. INDIGENOUS FUTURES 4EVER is presented through a horizontal platform of community, uplifting every person involved and presenting all artists on an equal platform. All artists featured in the show are members of the 4KINSHIP Indigenous Futures Fund (IFF).

The 4KINSHIP Indigenous Futures Fund empowers young Indigenous creatives by providing exposure, collaborative opportunities, and resources across various disciplines, such as dance, music, design, and art. IFF fosters interdisciplinary creativity, offers fair compensation, and helps participants build professional networks. By supporting Indigenous talent, IFF is creating a space for Indigenous excellence and driving positive change in industries that have historically excluded them.

Alongside incredible collections from Indigenous designers enhanced by music, dance, lighting, art, and spoken word, the event will feature performances by Snotty Nose Rez Kids, Mato Wayuhi, Tia Wood and Xiuhtezcatl. Refreshments from Yapopup Indigenous Soul Food and spirit free cocktails will be served. Join us for an evening filled with Indigenous Futurism, laughter, celebration and disruptive creativity that empowers us all.
