Start off with a conversation about the Inuit context today in art and beyond led by Joshua Stribbell, President of the National Urban Inuit Youth Council. This exploratory conversation will include a visit through Tunirrusiangit: Kenojuak Ashevak and Tim Pitsiulak. Kenojuak Ashevak and her nephew Timootee (Tim) Pitsiulak represent two generations of Inuit artists who have challenged viewers to respond to their art and the Inuit world view in new ways. The exhibition features key art works and sketches by each artist, enabling visitors to appreciate the strength of drawing as an expression of Inuit cultural heritage that engages everyday life at its deepest level.

Joshua Stribbell runs a program in Toronto for Inuit youth called Torontomiutaujugut. He was born and raised in Keswick, Ontario. His family is from Iqaluit, Nunavut.
