Found family was created while I was at the Banff Centre for the Indigenous Haute Couture residency. This was a space where i unexpectedly found myself amongst a cohort of kind aunties, it was a really warm, welcoming, accepting space.

It made me think about the different families I have created and found, and their relationship to the other types of families in my life; raised family, chosen family, blood family, ceremonial family.

As a queer 2s person who was a part of the millennial scoop I feel as though I am continually trying to tie pieces of myself and my various families together; holding these different pieces together and trying to make sense of it all.
