Use of Symbols:
Blind Fold Colonizer: Idea caged by privilege and power, must shed this in order to decolonize.
Tape on Colonized: Idea caged as well, but by past oppressive regimes that need to break free from.
Feather: Symbolizes loss of culture, which colonized individual regains through decolonization process.
Paper: treaty being broken, but also how this led to the environment being damaged due to greed.
Colonizer is wearing black and the colonized individual is wearing grey.
This dance piece was created to showcase the relationship between the colonizer and colonized, in past and present contexts in Canada; Indigenous issues. To show the struggle both groups endure in their struggle to decolonize from present degrading regimes. For example in order for the colonizer to successfully decolonize, they must change present structures to be more inclusive and let go of their power. Well, the colonized must break free from colonial made bonds and fight back against present structures.
This is my portrayal of this struggle, shown through the art of dance.
