Nekt wikuhpon ehpit - Once there lived a woman: The Painting, Poetry and Politics of Shirley Bear/Il etait une fois une femme : la peinture, la poesie et la politique de Shirley Bear (Paperback)

No present without the past. No equality without feminism.Nekt wikuhpon ehpit chronicles the sources, inspiration, and personal circumstances that have shaped Shirley Bear's visual art, poetry, and political activism and presents the integral relationship amongst these important activities in her life.Countering the invisible silent status ascribed to Indigenous women by patriarchal history and convention, Bear's primary focus has been the recovery of the feminine role in the ancestral life of First Nations culture. Featuring more than 30 reproductions of her work with essays by Terry Graff, Susan Crean, and Carol Taylor, Nekt wikuhpon ehpit both depicts and examines the essential feminine imagery of Bear's work in their symbolic, archetypal, or representative forms.Shirley Bear's work has been featured in exhibitions throughout Canada, the United States, and Europe. Her writing has been featured in several anthologies, including Kelusultiek: Original Women's Voices of Atlantic CanadaandThe Colour of Resistance. She received the New Brunswick Excellence in the Arts Award in 2002.
