Contemporary Inuit Drawing
Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Contemporary Inuit Drawing Nancy Campbell A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY, YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO. January 2017 © Nancy Campbell, 2017 Abstract The importance of the artist’s voice in art historical scholarship is essential as we emerge from post-colonial and feminist cultural theory and its impact on curation, art history, and visual culture. Inuit art has moved from its origins as an art representing an imaginary Canadian identity and a yearning for a romantic pristine North to a practice that presents Inuit identity in their new reality. This socially conscious contemporary work that touches on the environment, religion, pop culture, and alcoholism proves that Inuit artists can respond and are responding to the changing realities in the North. On the other side of the coin, the categories that have held Inuit art to its origins must be reconsidered and integrated into the categories of contemporary art, Indigenous or otherwise, in museums that consider work produced in the past twenty years to be contemporary as such. Holding Inuit artists to a not-so-distant past is limiting for the artists producing art today and locks them in a history that may or may not affect their work directly. This dissertation examines this critical shift in contemporary Inuit art, specifically drawing, over the past twenty years, known as the contemporary period. The second chapter is a review of the community of Kinngait and the role of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative in the dissemination of arts and crafts. -

Celebrating 30 Years of Supporting Inuit Artists Starting on June 3, 2017, the Inuit Art Foundation began its 30th Similarly, the IAF focused on providing critical health and anniversary celebrations by announcing a year-long calendar of safety training for artists.

Though the Foundation’s approach to achieving these goals for Nunavik artists at Kinngait Studios in Kinnagit (Cape Dorset), NU, has changed over time, these central tenants have remained firm. while the IAF showcased Arctic fashions, film, performance and The IAF formed in the late 1980s in a period of critical transition other media at its first Qaggiq in 1995. in the Inuit art world.

Art and the History of Environmental Law David B
Art and the History of Environmental Law David B. Schorr* Abstract This article is an initial exploration of what the history of environmental law can learn from the arts. Looking mainly at visual art, supplemented by occasional glances in the di- rection of literary works, it asks what, if anything, we can learn about the environmental law of the industrialized West of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries before 1970, when environmental problems abounded but before there was “environmental law.” The paper concludes that art can provide a valuable set of historical sources for under- standing the cultural attitudes toward the environment against which environmental law did or did not develop. It can also help evaluate the effects of environmental law, particu- larly as these were perceived in history. While its utility for uncovering environmental law itself is probably more limited, it can at least suggest lines of historical inquiry into the presence of environmental law and the form it took. * * * This article is an initial exploration of what the history of environmental law can learn from the arts. Looking at visual art (mainly paintings, with some drawings, prints, photo- graphs, and poster art), supplemented by occasional glances in the direction of literary works, it asks what, if anything, we can learn about the environmental law of the industri- alized West of nineteenth and twentieth centuries before 1970, when environmental problems certainly abounded but before there was “environmental law.”1 The focus will be on pollution law, especially air pollution, with some attention also paid to land use law. The first reason for my turn to art is prosaic. -

AR 2017/18 COVER: New this year, monthly stroller-friendly tours give parents and caregivers an opportunity for conversation in the galleries, while connecting kids with art, like this happy little guy. PHOTO BY Breanne Lucky. Message from the Chair of the Board Traveling to the Embassy of Canada to the United States in Washington, D.C. to launch Ningiukulu Teevee: Kinngait Stories was a true highlight this past year. The WAG is a cultural advocate that uses art to connect, inspire, and inform, and this was very clear as we celebrated Inuit art in the U.S. capital. Graphic artist Ningiukulu Teevee spoke about finding inspiration in traditional stories and the changes she sees around her in contemporary Cape Dorset. It was such a pleasure to meet and hear from her, and see her artwork up close. Looking towards the 2020 opening of the WAG Inuit Art Centre, we continue to build bridges between Canada’s North and South through art and stories. The excitement was mounting that night and keeps on rising! As members and supporters of the WAG, YOU made a year of amazing art possible for our community. Thank you!
