The documentation forms part of a long term arts research project called The Skullcracker Suite that reflects upon decolonial practices in British Columbia since the 1970’s. A section from the Raven Transformation Mask sequence forms part of an augmented reality component of a permanent exhibition More than Masks at the Staatliche Ethnological Museum in Berlin.
