This short documentary traces one aspect of a three-year collaboration among children, educators, a pedagogist, and the Kamloops Art Gallery. It follows a nine-month engagement with Métis artist Amanda Strong’s stop-motion film Biidaaban: The Dawn Comes, during which the group visited the gallery weekly to think and create alongside the film through storytelling, performance, and material experimentation.

Rather than presenting a finished outcome, the documentary attends to the ongoing processes of collective work—its pauses, negotiations, and shared inventions. It invites viewers to consider what becomes possible when early childhood education is approached as a site of relation and co-creation, where children, materials, and artworks think and move together.

Created on the unceded lands of the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc peoples, this project gestures toward how early childhood education might take shape as a practice of collective world-making and response.
