THE KICKS OF CONCACAF
DEBRA SPARROW
Debra Sparrow, is a Musqueam weaver, artist and knowledge keeper. She is self-taught in Salish design, weaving, and jewellery making.
Her work can be seen in various museums and institutions including the University of British Columbia, Vancouver International Airport, Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, the Royal B.C. Museum in Victoria and the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle, WA.
Debra designed the logo for the Canadian Men’s Hockey Team for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C. She also continues to work on pieces close to her heart at her home in Musqueam. It is Debra’s hope to educate others about the beauty and integrity of her people’s history through her art.
Debra is an acclaimed weaver who has been weaving for twenty years and is deeply involved with the revival of Musqueam weaving. Her Musqueam blankets are displayed at the Vancouver Airport, and at UBC. She is active in a program at the Museum of Anthropology designed to teach grade four children about Musqueam culture and history. She helped with the design of the Queen of the Night costume in the Vancouver Opera production of The Magic Flute. Now Debra is involved with the commercial production of blanket designs in clothing as well as blankets.
THE KICKS
CANADA
For the ones who believed... This design concept is rooted in a deep connection to nature and collective spirit, honoring the commitment and beauty of the athletic process and evolution. The moose emerges as a powerful symbol of strength and an enduring connection to the land, and is reinforced by national identity-defining maple leaves. A gradient palette inspired by pine forests and northern landscapes creates a seamless transition between environment and emotion, while a background crowd of supporters introduces our quiet yet powerful collective sports energy.
HEARTBEAT
The Canada cleats are part of the a multidisciplinary art project collaboration, "HEARTBEAT" in collaboration with Lili Cantero, which explores football as a shared emotional language. Through hand-painted soccer cleats and a central canvas, the project brings together identity, culture, and human connection across three nations: Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Each pair of cleats represents a distinct narrative. While they are individually crafted objects, their visual language extends beyond the object itself, culminating in a central artwork that anchors the "HEARTBEAT" exhibition.
