A social media post from 'dineaesthetics now' states that all systems of violence and exploitation are interconnected. It links Valentino's misuse of Métis and Dene beadwork to a larger problem of societal disdain towards Indigenous Peoples and the arts, calling it a symptom of colonization.
A social media post from 'dineaesthetics now' explains that Valentino's misuse of Métis and Dene artwork disrespects Indigenous ways of being and knowing. It emphasizes that using Indigenous stories and symbols without permission is a slap to the communities and shows disregard for their brilliance.
A social media post from 'dineaesthetics now' discusses how Indigenous artwork is rooted in storytelling, holding lessons and knowledge, and is community-oriented. It contrasts this with capitalistic and colonizing attitudes that don't value community-oriented presence, especially concerning AI.
