Moe Clark doesn’t believe the government is doing enough
regarding missing and murdered Aboriginal women.
So she wrote
a spoken word poem about it called Butterfly Ashes.
“It’s a piece that no matter
where I go, it still has valid space to be shared because it’s still an ongoing
concern,” said Clark. “Until the government issues a stronger public inquiry as
to what is actually the cause of this, how come these women have not been
found, we need to keep sharing what is important and what matters.”
As a
multidisciplinary Métis artist who has collaborated on several projects – including
directing the 10th annual Canadian Festival of Spoken Word in
Montreal – Clark started doing spoken word poetry 10 years ago when she lived
in Calgary. She finds inspiration from indigenous communities, issues in the
world and from other poets.
