Brandon Brown - The Power of the Haida People

April 9th, 2009 by clongmuir

Brandon was the most independent participant. He had a strong sense visually of what he wanted to accomplish from the very beginning. Brandon is a visual artist and is apprenticing with Christian White in learning Haida art forms.  It is obvious in his short stop-motion animation that he is very artistically talented. His piece integrates the voice and face of Ts’inni Steven Brown, speaking in Haida about the loss of culture and the resurgence of it through future generations. It explores the power of Haida art and the importance of sustaining it.
