Online Conference
Inuit Modern: An AGO Online Symposium
This series of three online events — taking place on Friday, April 1, 2011 live from the Art Gallery of Ontario — is scheduled in conjunction with the opening of Inuit Modern: The Esther and Samuel Sarick Collection of Inuit Art.
Description
"It is not who we are, but where we come from and where we are going." Join Inuit artists and thinkers to reflect on this statement during a timely one-day online conference. This series of three online events -- taking place on Friday, April 1, 2011 live from the Art Gallery of Ontario -- is scheduled in conjunction with the opening of Inuit Modern: The Esther and Samuel Sarick Collection of Inuit Art. It will explore the questions: What are the current issues affecting Inuit art today and how has modernity complicated life in Canada's far North? How has Inuit art changed the way that Canada and Inuit are viewed internationally?
Join in an online conversation with Inuit artists, scholars and your peers, as we explore this exciting topic together. Online events include:
- Session 1: Placing Inuit Modern in context
Friday, April 1, 2011 at 11:00 am EDT (Toronto time)
Politics, current issues, the environment, the right to hunt seal, and other topics. - Session 2: The history and development of Inuit Art
- Friday, April 1, 2011 at 1:00 pm EDT (Toronto time)
- Session 3: Contemporary Inuit Art
Friday, April 1, 2011 at 3:00 pm EDT (Toronto time)
