Glenn Gear

Glenn Gear is an artist from Newfoundland, currently based in Montreal. He is an animator, filmmaker and visual artist. Gear finds inspiration exploring his identity as an urban Inuk with ancestral ties to Nunatsiavut. Frequently creating animated short films related to those explorations, his current work centres on individual and collective history, exchange between Indigenous and settler populations, folklore, gender and analog forms, which he uses to create a dream-like quality in his shorts.
