Two stories intertwined around one image (a silvery sardine), Silverfish explores confinement, community and travel. The first story is about a young Vietnamese woman, Khanh, arriving in a small fishing town in New Brunswick to start work at the sardine-packing plant. The second story is of Gerhard Gruzintsky, a young Angolan man, who stows away in the undercarriage of an airplane. His frozen body is found with only a mobile phone, no ID, no passport. Sue, the women who finds him, is haunted by his death and arranges for a number of community groups to hold memorials for him.

"We wish to honour the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Neutral Nation who are the traditional custodians of the land upon which we stand and the waters that flow through it. It is our privilege to share this land, which has been the site of imagination since the beginning of human experience.  

 

Hermione Presents ~ SpringWorks is located on land governed by both the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant of 1701 and the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827. We are mindful of broken covenants and the need for us to respectfully listen, to learn from our mutual history and to strive continuously for reconciliation at all levels. 

 

The responsibility to nurture this land and protect the future falls to us all and in so doing, we actively honour the wisdom of those who came before us."
