Giiwe; Chasing Wild Strawberries provokes discomfort and curiosity by considering how heteronormative patriarchal structures disproportionately take up space and how these colonial power structures remain complicit in the exploitation of QTBIPOC (queer and transgender Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) bodies and relationship with land.

Inspired by the precision of their Uncle’s artistic expression, Lucas’s visual storytelling experience encompasses a traditional woodland style that playfully challenges how freedom and pleasure are measured by proximity to heteronormative whiteness. Their creative vision is inspired by the liminal space that exists when a person experiences discomfort around QTBIPOC bodies as a consequence of colonial violence.
