A HISTORY OF INUIT ART in the Canadian Arctic

TIMINGS: Morning Lecture & Online @ 10:45 / Afternoon Lecture @ 14:15. MEMBERS ONLY.

From religion to the environment, and colonial encounters to the power of the western art market, this talk explores the many interactions – expected and unexpected – that have shaped the history of Inuit Art in Canada. Drawing on collections in the UK and Canada, this talk will introduce you to the rich material heritage of the Canadian Arctic.
