SKEENA REECE

SKEENA REECE
performance art

Raven: On the Colonial Fleet is Skeena Reece as Raven, storyteller, Indigenous woman and Sacred Clown. The Sacred Clowns of the Hopi, and the Heyoka (backwards people) as described by the Lakota, are trickster figures whose intentions are to provoke or to live contrary to the larger group. For Reece, Sacred Clowning is a means to question belief systems that we hold passionately, regardless of right or wrong. In this performance, Reece takes on the persona of Raven the Trickster, a representation of flawed humanity, to present ideas and images circulating around the recent apologies to the Indigenous people of Australia and Canada.
