Dr. Carol Payne looks at how Qallunaat (southerners in the Inuktitut language) have depicted Inuit and how Inuit have responded with photography, historically a tool of explorers, ethnographers, missionaries, and governments in the North and, more recently, a creative vehicle for Inuit artists and community groups.
This event complements the Ottawa Art Gallery’s exhibition of art works by Kathleen Daly and George Pepper, two artists whose work extensively depicted the Arctic and Inuit living there.
