Join Indigiqueer artist Glenn Gear as he discusses his work in animation, installation, and an emergent materials-based practice.

Working with photo archives, collage, experimental animation techniques, mural painting, and bead work, he weaves together new narratives through a queer lens informed by his Inuit ancestry and ties to Nunatsiavut, its people, land, and animals.

Glenn Gear is an Indigiqueer filmmaker and multidisciplinary artist of Inuit and settler descent currently living in Montréal. He is originally from Corner Brook Newfoundland and has ancestral ties to Nunatsiavut. His practice is grounded in a research creation methodology shaped by Inuit and Indigenous ways of knowing, often employing the use of animation, photo archives, painting, beading, and work with traditional materials such as sealskin. He has worked on projects with the National Film Board of Canada, and collaborated with artists on installations, online works, and live video/audio projections. His films have screened in festivals throughout Canada and around the world.

A growing area within Gear's practice is the sharing of his animation knowledge with low-budget and experimental techniques through mentoring opportunities and workshops with a focus on Indigenous youth. Gear is currently a visiting artist-in-residence at Queens University, having completed the first part of his residency in late November last year. In 2021, he created the installation and accompanying audio guide for, Iluani/Silami (it's full of stars), for Qaumajuq’s inaugural exhibition INUA, which opened last Spring. He was also recently long listed for the 2021 Sobey Art Award.
