In celebration of the late‐March 2021 opening of Qaumajuq, the Inuit Art Centre, the public is invited to come view outdoor projections of contemporary Inuit artwork and imagery on the exterior of the two connected Winnipeg Art Gallery(WAG)‐Qaumajuq buildings. The display can be viewed from the street on Memorial Boulevard and St. Mary Avenue in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba, and will play on a loop every half hour between 6 and 10 pm, Fridays and Saturdays until March 27.
The 20‐minute projection display, curated by Jocelyn Piirainen, WAG Assistant Curator of Inuit Art, consists of work by Glenn Gear and Zacharias Kunuk, Inuit artists featured in Qaumajuq’s inaugural exhibition INUA, as well as Northern footage made possible through partnerships with Destination Nunavut, Travel Manitoba, and the National Film Board of Canada. Inuk multimedia artist Geronimo Inutiq has provided a dynamic soundscape throughout the display.
