Creative Access Description
A black and white landscape image of three performers engaging in a scene together. On the left is a Six Nations woman with dark shoulder-length hair standing profile to the right in the direction of the other two performers. She wears a white dress coat, a long dark dress and dark cowboy boots, along with a white mask that covers most of her face except for slits for the eyes and a gap for the mouth. Her hands are held together in front of her in a timid or anticipatory manner. In the centre, retreating towards a hallway is a Snaw-Naw-As man with tan skin wearing a light-coloured t-shirt and white pants. His hands are held up to his head as a white mask sits on top of his head, leaving his face exposed with a surprised look on his face. A Métis woman reaches her hand out to him from the right side of the image, her back towards the camera. She has long dark hair and is wearing a leather jacket with long hanging fringes, a dark-coloured shirt, shiny skin-tight leggings, and a bandana rolled and tied as a headband around her head. In the middle of the stage is a dark cubic wooden crate used as a stage prop. In the background are white gallery walls and a collage-like artwork mounted on the wall.Description
