Episode 6

NEWFOUNDLAND

Written and directed by Sonia Bonspille-Boileau

Jordan Bennett is an artist of Mi’kmaq descent whose work blends pop culture and traditional teachings into work that connects the past, the present and the future. Drawing on Mi’kmaq and Beothuk symbols and designs, he is playing an active role in the reemergence of Indigenous culture on the East Coast and across Canada. His tattooing methods include the skin stitch technique using needle and thread, and the hand poke using a single hand-wielded needle. For him, these techniques are tools for bringing to light that which was kept in the dark for too long, allowing Indigenous people to express their pride by uniting their bodies with their culture in a powerful affirmation.
