Discovering "Printed Textiles from Kinngait Studios"

On Saturday March 27, we partnered with the Canadian Society of Decorative Arts to talk about the exhibition "Printed Textiles from Kinngait Studios". Curatorial Lead Roxane Shaughnessy spoke about the little-known story of a group of Inuit artists and printmakers who produced a collection of graphic textiles in Kinngait, (Cape Dorset, Nunavut) in the 1950s and 60s – a period of social change that disrupted traditional language and relationships to the land and explored the evolution and impact of this textile initiative on Inuit graphic arts and explore its legacy through the work of Inuit fashion designers working today. This program is in partnership with the Canadian Society of Decorative Arts.
