The Cultural Survival Bazaar, an Indigenous Art Market and Festival that has been a local tradition for over 50 years, supporting Indigenous livelihoods, cultural sustainability, and personal connections that transverse culture and country. These markets offer a unique opportunity for the public to meet Indigenous artists from around the world and to learn about different ways of seeing and being in this world.
At the Cultural Survival Bazaars, you can meet and learn from many of the artisans who represent their time-honored craft-making at their local markets, all in one place. Honor Indigenous talent and traditions by purchasing handmade, culturally relevant art from all over the world. Draw a portrait with Deborah Moorehead! Learn Amate paper making! Watch Kayapo ceremonies! Experience cotton weaving! Discover how to transform metal into jewelry! Create multi-media art with Kichwa multidisciplinary artist Adina! Make an Indigenous craft, listen to live world music, participate in dance, delight in the flavors of cultural foods, and celebrate the season with family and friends by making a difference in the world.
The Cultural Survival Bazaar, organized by the Indigenous-led nonprofit of the same name, has served as a premier fair-trade festival for global Indigenous arts and culture since 1975. The event connects artisans from five continents directly with consumers, offering unique, handmade items ranging from textiles and home goods to jewelry and clothing, with all purchases supporting Indigenous livelihoods and community projects. Shoppers support millennia-old traditions and the lifeways of Indigenous communities worldwide.&nbsp;

The annual Bazaars are a program of the International, Indigenous-led NGO, Cultural Survival. Cultural Survival advocates for Indigenous Peoples' rights and supports Indigenous communities’ self-determination, cultures, and political resilience since 1972 (<a href="https://www.cs.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.cs.org</a>).&nbsp;
