4KINSHIP has landed at the Santa Fe Art Institute on the Midtown Campus.
Following the unexpected closure of our Santa Fe flagship, we found something pretty special: a new home, new neighbors, and a whole lot of possibility.
Through the end of 2026, 4KINSHIP + Indigenous Futures 4EVER are in residence at SFAI, where we’ve transformed our space into the 4KINSHIP MOTHERSHIP — part atelier, part showroom, part creative studio, part community gathering place.
This isn't a traditional retail store. The Mothership is an evolving experiment in what Indigenous-owned retail, design, mentorship, sustainability and community can look like when they all live under one roof.
We’ll be creating here, shipping your online orders from here, hosting special JOY BUBBLE DROPS, showcasing Indigenous and local artists, mentoring young creatives, offering Auntie Office Hours, building Indigenous Futures programming — and occasionally staying open late when something good is happening around Midtown.
Most importantly, this residency gives us room to keep doing what 4KINSHIP has always been about: creating kinship through design, community and opportunity.

Artist and designer Korina Emmerich founded the slow fashion brand EMME Studio in 2015. Her colorful work celebrates her paternal Indigenous heritage from The Puyallup tribe while aligning art and design with education. With a strong focus on social and climate justice, Emmerich's artwork strives to expose and dismantle systems of oppression in the fashion industry and challenge colonial ways of thinking.
Emmerich has worked as a board member, special advisor and educator with The Slow Factory Foundation. She serves on the board of The Fibers Fund, and works as the Exhibitions and Materials Steward with Catalyst.
She is the co-founder of Relative Arts, a brick-and-mortar community space, open studio, and shop that showcases contemporary Indigenous fashion and design in NYC’s East Village. Providing a peer-run space that fosters the advancement of Indigenous futurism through collaboration, celebration, and education.
Her work has been featured in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Moma PS1, The Denver Art Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Vogue, Elle, Instyle, Fashion, New York Magazine, and more notable publications. She has presented her collections in Vancouver Indigenous Fashion Week, Indigenous Fashion and Arts, Santa Fe Indian Market's Couture Runway Show, and New York Fashion Week.
Originally from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina but currently living between LA, NYC and Richmond, VA; Lucaa is the newest brainchild of singer/producer Stepha (she/they), who is a 2 spirit Afro-Indigenous artist from A Ni Sa Ho Ni (Cherokee - Blue/Medicine clan) and Arapaho ancestry. Their genre-bending anti-pop brand of music features raw and deceptively deep songwriting that pulls from their experiences as a young model in NYC, and being a queer POC artist.
Lucaa takes a grungier approach to Indie-pop, with influences harnessed from Radiohead, Billie Eilish, Arlo Parks, and Dua Saleh. With organic production led by Stepha’s natural intuition and vocals reminiscent of a lullaby, Lucaa’s brand of raw and emotive pop music is an expression of both their innerworkings and their culture. They have always infused fashion and music into their art, and are working to bring indigenous representation to the music industry through their own unique expression and voice. Within the context of music and fashion, they are also shining a light on the two-spirit indigenous experience within the queer community. From their own words:
"I am striving to bring a stronger and louder Native voice and presence to the music industry. And to create an easier path for other diverse, young Indigenous artists within this world." - Stepha (Lucaa)
