MEDIA TESTIMONIALS

“IFA is currently one of the biggest showcases of Indigenous design in North America. The event provides a much-needed space for underrepresented talent to showcase their work on a large scale, all of whom challenge preconceived notions of what Indigenous design is and can be.”

— Christian Allaire, Vogue Magazine, 2021
