Creative Access Description
A black and white landscape image of three Indigenous performers in an intense, aggressive scene on stage. A Métis woman is being forcibly held sideways on top of cubic wooden crates by two figures. On the left, a Snaw-Naw-As man is holding her legs up by the ankles, her knees bent 90 degrees, while on the right, a Six Nations woman is holding her head up. The woman’s eyes are closed shut as she screams and squirms, thrashing her hands held at her sides. She has long, wavy dark hair, wearing a dark shirt and shiny, skin-tight leggings. The man standing over her on the left has long dark hair tied back in a ponytail, wearing a white dress coat, light-coloured t-shirt and white pants. The woman who is holding the other woman down with a strained expression on her face has shoulder-length dark hair and wears a long white dress coat. In the background are gallery white walls and a large collage-like artwork hung on the wall.Description
