Four Faces of the Moon: Amanda Strong (Library Copy)
Amanda Strong
2017
Four Faces of the Moon is a catalogue of an exhibition held at grunt gallery from July 22 to August 20, 2016. The Four Faces of the Moon exhibition was a multi-media installation that provided a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the elaborate sets, puppets, and props created for the stop motion animated film by the same name. The film explores the reclamation of language and Nationhood, and peels back the layers of Canada’s colonial history. A personal story told through the eyes of director and writer Amanda Strong, as she connects the oral and written history of her family as well as the history of the Michif (Métis), Cree and Anishinaabe people and their cultural ties to the buffalo. Canada’s extermination agenda of the buffalo isn’t recorded as fervently as it was in the United States, yet the same tactics were used north of the border to control the original inhabitants of the land. The film seeks to uncover some of that history and establish the importance of cultural practice, resistance and language revival from a personal perspective.
