Wînipêk
Wînipêk explores Indigeneity on the prairies, emphasizing disconnection and longing for kinship with the Land. Through contrasting landscapes, it examines cultural dispossession, coexistence, and the enduring journey of returning home. James Dixon is an Indigiqueer filmmaker and artist who blends abstract collaging and documentary aesthetics, exploring decolonization through regional, autobiographical, and experimental works.
