Dancing into spring (literally) with “Spring Dance” (1979) by Kinngait artist #NapachiePootoogook (1938-2002)! 💃🏻🌹☀️
Happy birthday to #OvilooTunnillie, one of Kinngait’s most revered female Inuk sculptors! 🎂 Born #onthisday in 1949, Tunnillie was among the first in her community to carve nudes and tackle hard themes like violence and substance abuse in her work.
Kinngait (#CapeDorset)-based artist #ShuvinaiAshoona’s drawings are where humans and monsters meet. ✨🐙 Read about her work “Composition (Attack of the Tentacle Monsters)” (2015) here: https://t.co/QQ3mrPziGw
Tunirrusiangit is the Inuktitut word for “their gifts” or “the gifts they gave”—a fitting descriptor for an exhibition honouring the legacies of #KenojuakAshevak and #TimPitsiulak, two of Kinngait’s (Cape Dorset) most iconic artists. 🦉🐋 Now on view @agotoronto.
