    One Story

    • 1994
    • Hope Peterson, Erika MacPherson

    One Story was originally produced as part of the Community Play “Travois” in 1994. It is a look into the various complicated and overlapping stories that inform the current urban and traditional culture of the First Nations peoples. The questionable politics that dictate Status and the paternalism of Treaty Days are juxtaposed with the pow wow, the voice of graffiti and the street.

    Surface Damage

    • 1992
    • Hope Peterson

    A variety of scars on women’s bodies are labeled either “surgical”, “self-inflicted” or “other”. The categories break down and overlap as the tape progresses, the image interrupted from time to time by scenes of a scarification.

    Surface Damage

    Stain

    • 1988
    • Hope Peterson

    A stain mysteriously appears on a woman’s clothes. Is it real? Is it dangerous? Where did it come from, and above all, how to get it out? Who is responsible for the anger that remains after an everyday sexual assault?
