A crankie theatre is like a moving picture book. It consists of a box with two spools and an illustrated scroll of paper. The spools are ‘cranked’ or turned to move the illustrated scroll of paper through the box as the story is told.

Sara McCreary is a multidisciplinary Métis artist who focuses on textile sculpture, fashion-based art, and beadwork. She was born, raised, and lives in Oskana kâ-asastêki (Regina, Saskatchewan located on Treaty 4 territory). Sara’s artistic practice is motivated by her heritage, finding inspiration from stories and traditions passed on from her family, current contemporary and traditional Métis artists, and collections of historical traditional work waiting on repatriation.
