Infinity Child, a segment of the I Can See Queerly Now project from Regina's Common Weal Community Arts, maps the moments of fear and excitement as a young Métis woman re-unites with her mother after a 26-year separation. The two women discover they've harboured the same questions about each other during their many years apart and shared more than a few personality traits. Their meeting becomes particularly poignant when the daughter reveals a fear of rejection due to her sexuality and non-traditional family situation.
