This photo is part of a proposal that I submitted with Sandra Lamouche, Hoop Dancer from "December 6," to create a silent poetry dance film for imagineNATIVE's Stolen Sisters Digital Initiative call. In "14 (for December 6)," the spoken word piece that creates the backbone of the film "December 6," Evalyn Parry delivers a line: "Women's bodies farmed out, used up, disappeared." It's a line that haunts me and was part of the inspiration in the creation of this proposal. Depressing statistic in the body graffiti, but I'm pleased with the aesthetic of the image.

Lani's Story
Just finished the imagineNATIVE screening, in a special program co-presented by the Assaulted Women's Hotline and WIFT-Toronto. The film was screened along with "Open Season: On the Rights of Native Women" and " Lani's Story," a documentary from Australia about a young Aboriginal woman’s journey from victim to victor. Hopefully, both of these films will be picked up by broadcasters here in Canada so more people will have a chance to see them. I particularly recommend "Lani's Story"... keep your eyes open for both Lani's book and a possible feature film in the future!
