SUMMARY:How the Animation Industry Works: Globalization\, Integration\, Unionization
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 7th\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\nMuseum of Natural History\, Auditorium (1747 Summer St) \nTickets available at www.anifx.ca\nAre you new to the animation industry? Trying to get into it? Just curious? \nHere’s a chance to find out about how financial policies and practices shape the animation workplace. We’ll discuss how international studios outsource animation work to Kjipuktuk-Halifax\, how that relates to public funding for commercial film production\, the effects of studios’ ownership of distribution and exhibition networks (vertical integration\, like Disney Studios and Disney+)\, and current movements towards unionization in the industry. Featuring people at different career stages\, the panel will ask what it’s like to be a freelancer in the animation world and what it’s like to support your “passion projects” by working in the industry. \n

SUMMARY:The Work We Do: An Animation Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Online stream at www.anifx.ca until May 15th \nTickets to Online Screening at www.anifx.ca\nPresented in partnership with the Animation Festival of Halifax (AFX) \nCraft. Labour. Practice. Drudgery. Vocation. We work every day\, sometimes with joy and a sense of fulfillment\, sometimes with loathing and a sense of alienation. We labour for pay\, for free\, or for barter; we exert ourselves for overlords\, for ourselves\, or for our communities. These animated films from across the country and across the decades reflect on the ups and downs of our experiences as beings who toil and strive. And what medium could be more fitting than the labour-intensive delight of animation? \nTotal running time: 65 minutes. \n  \n \n \n\nSeeing Her (Lindsay McIntyre\, 2020) 3:30 \nWe begin with Lindsay McIntyre’s homage to the skill and love of work her great-grandmother\ndid on her amauti\, animated through Super-16 cinematography. \n\nGet a Job! (Brad Caslour\, 1985) 10:30 \nWith a turn to the ironic\, this 1980’s classic is an ironic riff on classic cartoons\, peppered with pop culture references. \n\nCurtailment of Civilian Industries (Philip Ragan\, 1943) 2:00 \nFrom the vaults: World War II propaganda paints a picture of labour and consumerism. \n\nYou Are Pretty Much On Your Own… The Two Disasters of Homelessness and The Pandemic ( Jeff Karabanow\, Katrin Doll\, Catherine Levitan-Reid\, Jean Hughes and Haorui Wu\, 2021) 7:45 \nResearchers team up with Animator Shannon Long to create an animated short  exploring the homelessness sector in two Nova Scotian communities during the early phases of COVID. It is based on the SSHRC-funded 2021 study entitled “COVID-19  and Homelessness: Promoting Disaster Preparedness\, Response\, and Recovery in Two Communities in Nova Scotia” by Jeff  Karabanow\, Kaitrin Doll\, Catherine Levitan-Reid\, Jean Hughes and Haorui Wu. \n\nThe Housewife (Cathy Bennett\, 1975) 6:00 \nThe Housewife provides a 1970’s look a “women’s” work and a quiet celebration of the women who do it. \n\nBistro Girls (Jenna Marks\, 2020) 5:00 \nJenna Marks’s stop-motion animation brings out the sparkle of documentary interviews with Zoe Leger and Foxy Roxy as they reflect on their work as performers. \n\nMacpherson (Martine Chartrand\, 2012) 11:00 \nMartine Chartrand’s exquisite paint-on-glass animation celebrates a range of work and labourers in this true story of Frank Randolph Macpherson\, a Jamaican chemical engineer working in the pulp and paper industry\, who inspired Félix Leclerc to write his song about the log drives. \n\nBiidaaban (The Dawn Comes) (Amanda Strong\, 2017) 19:15 \nIndigenous people have harvested sap for thousands of years. In Biidaaban\, a young genderfluid person and a shape-shifter continue this work in an urban setting. \n\nDOWNLOAD OUR PROGRAM APP FOR ALL EVENT  DETAILS & UPDATES\n   \n

In response\, a new wave of protest and revolt broke out across Atlanta\, in which the Wendy’s burned to the ground. Armed Black demonstrators occupied the site of the Wendy’s\, mourning for Rayshard Brooks and seeking to create spaces of Black empowerment.” \n

SUMMARY:TOIL HERE
DESCRIPTION:Works From Rural Mi’kma’ki\n\nPresented in partnership with the Khyber Centre for the Arts\n \n\nDOWNLOAD OUR PROGRAM APP FOR ALL EVENT & TICKET UPDATES\n   \n\nTOIL HERE is a group exhibition and curatorial collaboration between the Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax Festival and the Khyber Centre for the Arts. Featured in this exhibition are works by artists Alex Antle\, Antoinette Karuna\, Clara Gough\, Curtis Botham\, Heather Cromwell\, Kim Cain\, and Michelle Roy\, as well as by Mi’kmaq water protectors Cathy Martin\, Gnat Na’pi\, and Darlene Gilbert. Using the languages of traditional domestic craft and fine art\, the artists explore different facets of rural life\, labour and justice\, and together disrupt stereotypical notions of what rural “Maritime” art can be and speak to. \nA video tour of TOIL HERE will be released at a later date as a complement to the exhibition. The video will contain captioned interviews with each of the artists. \n\nVIDEO TOUR\n \nVideo by Keltic Kreative \nArtist Interviews\nArtist and water protectors discuss the art in TOIL HERE and water protection on Mi’kma’ki.\n\n \nThe Khyber Centre for the Arts · TOIL HERE: Works from rural Mi’kma’ki\n\nARTWORKS IN TOIL HERE\n“Pulp Mill\, Abercrombie” by Curtis Botham\n  \nTOIL HERE opens with original audio\, also available as a transcription\, from Catherine Anne Martin\, Gnat Na’pi\, and Thunderbird Swooping Down Woman (Darlene Gilbert). Upon entering and while viewing the exhibition\, and online\, visitors can hear or read as these Mi’kmaq water protectors each speak to labour and water protection on Mi’kma’ki. \nAlex Antle’s Sple’tk is a watershed map of the Exploits River beaded onto a tan moose hide and hung from a scraped birch tree. The River is located in the central region of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) where Alex grew up. This work explores the importance of clean water and the many uses of the River. Both L’nu and settlers have utilized the water for labour and enjoyment. \nAntoinette Karuna’s hooked rug wall hangings are part of an autobiographical series. Untitled 1 and Untitled 2 explore the spiritual aspects of erotic love\, distanced from the male gaze and existing within the private sphere of the Treaty Relationship\, as Karuna is settler and her partner is Mi’kmaq. Untitled 3 examines Karuna’s biracial identity\, which is Sri Lankan Tamil (brown) and French Canadian (white)\, and how despite pressures from monoracial society to choose one racial identity over another\, she experiences her biraciality as fluid and complex. Formally\, her rugs draw on her background as a filmmaker\, mixing the language of textiles with that of cinema––notably cinematographic and storytelling principles. \nDetail of “Sple’tk” by Alex Antle\nClara Gough’s life sized figurative basket sculptures present different forms of labour: one a parent carrying a child and the other a depiction of the artist’s father carrying tools. Gough reinvents the traditional basket weaving techniques passed down in her community to depict iterations of labour and the community itself. \nCurtis Botham’s Pulp Mill\, Abercrombie is a black and white\, photo-realistic charcoal drawing as part of his ‘Effluents’ series of drawings that depict worker’s solidarity\, economic justice and environmental impact of industry in rural Mi’kma’ki. Drawn from observational sketches\, Curtis has illustrated the environmental devastation that can be caused from unsustainable\, under-regulated pulp industries. \n“Untitled 1” by Antoinette Karuna\nSecret Codes by Heather Cromwell is a vibrant series of picture quilts The Dance\, Betty Hartley and Grandma’s Hands depicting Black Nova Scotian women\, labour\, love and stories from the community. This work came out of a project by the Black Artists’ Network of Nova Scotia (BANNS) and the Vale Quilters\, where quiltmakers created from drawings made by Halifax artist-curator David Woods\, and documented travels to African Nova Scotian communities across the province. Grandma’s Hands will be on view as part of TOIL HERE. \nTilling and burying: Red Earth\, Black Death by Kim Cain is a piece about dualities of life/death\, growth/pruning\, joy/ sorrow. The red earth sets the background for the preparation of the land for planting\, with cattle and farmers preparing the soil. Black death is actualized with the central sight of the pallbearers carrying a casket towards a waiting plot. \nMichelle Roy’s Mi’kmaq regalia pieces include a toddler’s regalia\, a prom dress\, and a special jingle dress\, in representation and honoring of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women\, Girls\, and Two-Spirit and to celebrate the strength\, labour and determination of Mi’kmaq mothers\, sisters\, aunties\, wives\, and daughters and the central role of women in struggles for Indigenous justice. \n\nARTIST BIOS\nALEX ANTLE (she/her) is an emerging L’nu beadwork artist located on the North Shore of Elmastukwek\, Ktaqmkuk (Bay of Islands\, Newfoundland). She has been learning and practicing beadwork for four years with the guidance of a community of Mi’kmaq beaders. Alex’s art often explores the relationship between tradition and living culture\, as well as the importance of land and water. \nANTOINETTE KARUNA (she/her) is a visual artist working in textiles and film. She is Tamil Sri Lankan through her father and French Canadian through her mother. Karuna spent her childhood in London\, England\, and later a decade each in Montreal and Berlin. She now lives in Antigonish\, where she works as a freelance writer and editor and teaches filmmaking at St. Francis Xavier University. \nCLARA GOUGH (she/her) is a basketmaker and sculptor based in East Preston. She carries on the traditional basket weaving taught to by her mother Edith Clayton\, a renowned African Nova Scotian basketmaker. Though strongly influenced by her mother’s techniques\, Gough has imprinted her own unique style on the craft. In 1998 she began creating figurative basket sculptures inspired by her family and community. Clara is a member of the Black Artists’ Network of Nova Scotia (BANNS)\, a non-profit\, multi-disciplinary arts association that seeks to develop the African Nova Scotian arts community. \nCURTIS BOTHAM (he/him) is a white visual artist interested in rural Maritime industries. After graduating from NSCAD University in 2017\, he spent a year in New Glasgow’s Artist Residency program where he made a series of large-scale charcoal drawings dealing with the impact of industry on the environment and nearby communities. \nHEATHER CROMWELL (she/her) is an artist and quiltmaker based in New Glasgow. She grew up watching her mother and grandmother making quilts and took on the craft in her thirties. Heather is a member of the Black Artists’ Network of Nova Scotia (BANNS). She is also part of The Northumberland Quilters Guild\, one of the largest quilt guilds in Nova Scotia.
