about

Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik of PIQSIQ return with another installation of their holiday tradition; re-imagining Christmas carols through an Inuit and decolonial lens, this time tackling Ave Maria.

“If anything, our relationship with Christmas continues to grow more and more complex. This year we saw the Pope visit Canada with very polarising opinions from Indigneous people. There was a lot of lip service and acknowledgement of harm but no actual commitment to aiding in the prosecution of those who committed unspeakable crimes against Indigenous students and their families.

“We wanted to call into question the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church through this song. We are soothed with messages of exalting an impossible version of womanhood through the Virgin Mary but the real life experience of women in the church is steeped in misogyny. Women cannot hold positions of meaningful leadership in the Church, can’t be ordained, and don’t have autonomy over their own bodies. Why are women the only ones shamed for abortions or the use of birth control? There should be no celebration for the lack of autonomy imposed on women and their bodies.
