Curated by Heather Igloliorte and Taqralik Partridge, ᐃᓚᒌᑦ Ilagiit/Relatives features contemporary Inuit artists from throughout Inuit Nunaat whose works speak to ways of being in relation: to each other and community, the land, past and future generations, namesakes, and Inuit belongings. Inuit relational expressions are explored through painting, video, clothing, photography, textiles, ceramics and other practices; through both human and non-human relations and the Inuit contexts of kinship, respect, belonging and responsibility.

This exhibition is a featured event of ᕿᓐᓂᕋᔮᑦᑐᖅ Qinnirajaattuq / Ripples: Making Waves in Inuit Art symposium, hosted by Inuit Futures in Arts Leadership in collaboration with partners in Montreal, nationally, and internationally, from November 6th to 8th, 2024.
