About

Four Sacred Feathers: Medicine Wheel Teachings is a public art installation by Two-Spirit Indigenous artist Alex Manitopyes of SACRD THNDR. Four large-scale illuminated acrylic eagle feathers represent the four directions and share teachings connected to the medicine wheel. Created with fabrication and technical support from Fuse 33, the installation brings ancestral knowledge together with contemporary materials, light and design, offering festival visitors an immersive celebration of Indigenous identity, culture, resilience and storytelling.
