Lost All Sorts Collective

Lost All Sorts Collective is a multi-disciplinary collective of Independent First Nations Artists from many different Nations. The collective was formed to maintain our values and virtues as artists and friends. We as a collective will venture to continue to artistically express our contemporary Indigenous identities through different artistic disciplines, built upon a network of First Nations Independent Artists, and keep our connection to Country strong in a modern world. We strive to tell our story, our history, and our culture.

about Woven in Time

This work draws on the art of weaving and how the art form is used to not only create, but to preserve stories. The knowledge that is passed down to each and every one of us is woven into the fabric, or material, of our time. To be able to create with such a traditional art form and make it a signature of our collective is something Lost All Sorts Collective holds with utmost respect and love, to be able to share it through our way of movement gives us a sense of pride and appreciation.

about Conductive Site

Conductive Site is an online program of artworks by six diverse, interdisciplinary artists – Hanna Cormick, Riana Head-Toussaint, Shareeka Helaluddin, Lost all Sorts Collective, Jamila Main, and Daniel Savage – curated by interdisciplinary disabled/crip artist Riana Head-Toussaint.

This collective of artists is unified by a shared interest in grappling with issues of space as it relates to agency, care, community, liberation, reclamation, perception, and disconnection –  as well as our prescribed and unprescribed understanding of what it means to “access” space. Unfurling here on the Firstdraft website, Conductive Site aims to create movement, conversation and change through radical re-considerations of so-called public space.
