In social networking sites, ‘trending’ demarcates an increase in the popularity of a topic among a large group. In the wider world, a fashion trend indicates an upward shift of interest in a particular style.
Trending is a four-day performative embedment on The University of Winnipeg campus by The Ephemerals, an all-female Aboriginal collective of artists and curators. The Ephemerals will interrogate the trend of Indigenously-influenced clothing among post-secondary students. Images from performances will be uploaded to Gallery 1C03’s website.
