We Wear One Another
We Wear One Another
We wear one another by Tanya Lukin Linklater documents her site-specific performance for dance and violin, developed in response to an Inuvialuit rain gut parka collected by the Hudson’s Bay Company and displayed in a Canadian museum. This act of ‘translating’ a garment made by the artist’s ancestors and from animals in their environment, is part of the artist’s overall practice of ‘singing, sounding and dancing’ cultural belongings. Lukin Linklater argues that Indigenous knowledges are held in the body and activated physically “in relation to these belongings, to our families, to the land, to the universe.”
