Contemporary Inuit Art – A Changing Art for a Changing Arctic

Tour the First Peoples Hall with Norman Vorano, Curator of Contemporary Inuit Art to learn how, travel, the Internet and other modern pressures are influencing artists. 

Internet, travel, industry and environment: Canada’s Arctic is changing at an unprecedented pace. How do these changes influence the life and culture of the Inuit who have lived in the Arctic for more than one thousand years? Join Norman Vorano, Curator of Contemporary Inuit Art at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, for a guided tour of the First Peoples Hall. He will discuss the ways Inuit artists are responding to some of the pressures, predicaments and opportunities of the modern world through their innovative new art. In English.
