Wuyeekeesuk, Good Day,

Happy Autumn Equinox. My name is Candyce Testa. I am a woman of the Pequot Tribal Nation located on the Mashantucket Reservation in Connecticut and am excited to introduce myself as Cultural Survival’s new Bazaar Program Manager.

I am an Indigenous artist who was taught that when art is created or adorned with our hands that we add to the Manut or Spirit of the object. For this reason, I maintain a good mind when creating things like bead and porcupine quill jewelry, corn husk dolls, baby moccasins, regalia ornaments, and events.

I also come to this role with experience developing arts and crafts workshops, revitalizing my community's Indigenous language, as well as event planning and implementation at the Pequot Museum, Pequot Cultural Department, Historical Cultural Preservation Committee, and Natural Resource Committee.

Even more exciting is the return of the Cultural Survival Bazaars ([link removed]) this December after a four-year hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Mark your calendars for December 14 -17, 2023 at the Prudential Center in Boston!

Organized since 1975, the Cultural Survival Bazaars are cultural festivals that provide Indigenous artists and artisans, cooperatives, and their representatives from around the world the chance to sell their work directly to the public. Each event features traditional and contemporary crafts, artwork, clothing, jewelry, home goods, and accessories from dozens of countries.

In addition, the Bazaars offer cultural performances and presentations, including live music, storytelling, craft-making demonstrations, and the unique chance to talk directly with makers and community advocates.

Stay tuned for more details. We look forward to seeing you!

Kutaputuyumuw (Thank you all),

Candyce Testa
Bazaar Program Manager

Minimum 5 hours required. Discount on crafts at Cultural Survival's booth. If you stay for 5+ hours, a meal will be included. We look forward to having you join us!

Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures and political resilience since 1972. We envision a future that respects and honors Indigenous Peoples' inherent rights and dynamic cultures, deeply and richly interwoven in lands, languages, spiritual traditions, and artistic expression, rooted in self-determination and self-governance.
