Kiinalik: These Sharp Tools
T532540414
A dramatic meeting between two extraordinary artists, and between the northern and southern extremes of Canada. In the Inuktitut language, when a knife is dull, it is said to 'have no face'. The word 'kiinalik' translates to mean the knife is sharp - or, 'it has a face'. In Kiinalik, Evalyn Parry's heartfelt personal anthems combine with Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory's gripping uaajeerneq - a Greenlandic mask dance - to give voice to their intertwined histories, colonial legacies and the changing climate we all face.
