A Gathering for Her

As a performance and installation-based artist, Reona Brass explores concepts of ritual, transgression and resistance. Through the use of various prolonged and/or repeated actions, Brass explores the construction and meaning of these concepts. In A Gathering for Her, Brass will make preparations in a room at The Native Canadian Centre to be bound into a reconstructed ‘cradleboard’, a rite of passage denied her by a broken history. Referring to the rite of binding a child too young to walk, Brass
will seek knowledge and comfort as she learns to take on the attributes of patience and humility. This work is presented as part of FADO’s ongoing PUBLIC
SPACES/PRIVATE PLACES series.
