The exhibition INUA: Inuit Nunangat Ungammuaktut Atautikkut | Inuit Moving Forward Together (March 2021-April 2022), the inaugural exhibition of Qaumajuq – the new Inuit art centre at the Winnipeg Art Gallery – provided a unique opportunity to the all-Inuit curatorial team to explore culturally sovereign exhibition practices both within and beyond western art historical frames, and to articulate distinctly Inuit ways of working in the arts.
In this presentation by the lead guest curator of INUA, Dr. Heather Igloliorte explores the innovations and continuities manifested by the curatorial team and a host of other Inuit interlocuters who worked on the project, who collectively work towards the articulation of a new, self-determined future for Inuit exhibition practices.
