Creative Access Description
A black and white landscape image of a group of performers standing in a circle formation, engaging in a spiritual moment together. They have their arms half spread open, palms open, facing away from their bodies. Their eyes are closed in a moment of worship or contemplation. On the right side is a Métis woman wearing a black shirt under a leather jacket with long fringes open at the front and with the sleeves rolled up to her elbow. She also wears a bandana rolled and tied as a headband holding her long black hair back from her face, which holds a calm smile. Behind her is a Six Nations woman with dark shoulder-length, slightly dishevelled hair wearing a dark shirt underneath a black dress coat, holding a neutral expression on her face. Behind her, on the left, is a Snaw-Naw-As man with long dark hair, his face and body mostly obscured by another man in the bottom left corner of the image. The man’s back is facing the camera, and he wears a black leather jacket and a bandana tied around his head. In the background is a large collage-like artwork mounted on the wall along with some vertical piping in the dark corner of the room’s edge.Description
