We’re honoured to invite women and those who identify as women of all ages to take part in Red Tent: Held in Community. This is a free event.

It is an opportunity to participate in a creative art experience, to support healing and community. The first part is a photography project celebrating identity, presence, and feminine embodiment. On Saturday, January 10,we will be hosting a ritual photo shoot with  local photographer Brian Aikens in his Squamish studio, supported by local therapists and healers. Participants will be surrounded by flowing red fabric in a supportive setting designed to offer a joyful, embodied experience that honours your unique story and presence. Our invitation is to express yourself as you are for a portrait held within our metaphorical red tent.

Selected photos from these sessions will be featured in a public exhibit at the Squamish Public Library during the first week of March, coinciding with International Women’s Day. We intend to hold a Red Tent event all that week long to foster conversation and connection. This is a unique opportunity to partake and be held in a collaborative artistic process, connect with your community, and celebrate the experiences of those with uteruses in a professional gallery setting.

Spaces are limited — we encourage you to sign up for a photo shoot time slot and become part of this inclusive, celebratory experience. Together, we’ll create art that highlights the beauty, strength, and diversity of women in Squamish.
