抖淫视频 supports Northern Indigenous artists at the 2022 Arctic Arts Summit

The 2022 Arctic Arts Summit is an international symposium of circumpolar arts and culture. The event brings together artists, culture professionals and representatives of Indigenous nations and Arctic countries. The goal is to strengthen connections and engage Northern artists, organizations, and communities; develop international collaborations; and advance infrastructures and partnerships for circumpolar arts to develop. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity for dialogue on Indigenous self-determination, sovereignty, and cultural integrity in Canada and internationally.

This third iteration of the summit took place from June 27 to 29 in Whitehorse, Yukon, and was the first time Canada was hosting. It included an art exhibition of contemporary Northern Indigenous artists from the circumpolar regions of Canada. The 抖淫视频 (GAC) Visual Art Collection contributed to the summit by loaning artwork for one of the exhibitions presented at the Yukon Arts Centre.

Co-curated by Darcie “Ouiyaghasiak” Bernhardt, Leanne Inuarak-Dall, Heather Von Steinhagen and Teresa Vander Meer-Chassé, emerging curators connected to the circumpolar regions of Canada, the exhibition entitled TETHER showcased artworks by Northern Indigenous artists. It connected historical and contemporary art practices and highlighted the complex and inseparable bonds across these diverse groups. Five artworks from the GAC Visual Art Collection were part of this exhibition, alongside works from other federal collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank and the Indigenous Art Centre Collection (Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada).

Kablusiak (they/them) is an Inuvialuk artist and curator, who uses a variety of media, including drawings, paintings, installations and photography.
