Collectivation (Collective + Activation = Collectivation) is a community driven project with a focus on using the Jingle Dress to evoke healing and dreaming from the prayers and hopes of people from across the nation.

It is the collective activation of words, sounds, and images that will be transferred to the Jingle Dress to become a voice to the voiceless, a medicine for the sick, and a breath where there is none.

The dress does not go quietly. It is not silent. It remembers and dances until we feel that we were never alone in the circle. It carries our interconnectedness until we remember we were never alone in this existence even through times of resistance.
