About this event

Co-presented by the Art Museum at the University of Toronto and Toronto Biennial of Art

Inuit independent production company Isuma discusses their collaborative strategies on the occasion of Qaggiq: Gathering Place, a major exhibition of their film and expanded media works at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. The conversation will include Norman Cohn, Zacharias Kunuk, Apayata Kotierk, Samuel Cohn-Cousineau, and asinnajaq.

Following the talk, the gallery will be open to view the exhibition, with an opening reception from 6-8pm. Qaggiq: Gathering Place brings together a selection of video works by the internationally renowned Isuma artists’ collective.

Officially founded in 1990 by Zacharias Kunuk, Paul Apak Angilirq, Pauloosie Qulitalik, and Norman Cohn in Igloolik, Nunavut, this first ever Inuit production company produces video from an Inuit point of view, which includes language, story telling, and ways of thinking. Their films are imbued with the voices of elders and young Inuit, with mythology, memories and nightmares, and above all with oral histories of times before contact and the trauma of encounter that includes Christian conversion and forced relocation. Above all, their activist works are part of the ongoing, ever present struggle to sustain Inuit futures in the massive transformation of the North through resource extraction projects and climate change.
