𝗔̀ 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀 𝗱𝗲 𝗹'𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
In the depths of a snow-covered forest, a person dressed in a white jumpsuit walks forward, removes the jumpsuit to reveal another, and so on, until she is naked. Through her actions, Amy Malbeuf affirms her body as an Indigenous woman—who, like the forest, are objectified by the colonial gaze—and her relationship with the living, as in A Divine Persona of SWof1…Wof4. […] Then, nearby, other portals lead us into the depths of the water. With his fishing holes, Jordan Bennett invites us, like ice fishermen, to take our time. […] Invited to participate together in Manif d’art 12, Malbeuf and Bennett perform actions rooted in their respective Métis and Mi’kmaq traditions.
The activity takes place in all weather conditions, unless safety is compromised
