Iqqaipaa: Celebrating Inuit Art, 1948-1970
The exhibition features art objects from the period during which the Inuit slowly abandoned their centuries-old nomadic lifestyle and moved into small settlements. The art reflects the culture they were leaving behind - hence Iqqaipaa which means ''I remember'' - with artifacts made out of indigenous materials such as whalebone, ivory, antler and soapstone.
Reflections on the Holocaust: The Art of Aba Bayefsky
The paintings and drawings by Jewish artist Aba Bayefsky are based on his personal experiences of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in May 1945.
Emergence from the Shadow: First Peoples' Photographic Perspectives
Popular culture has played a major role in creating and ingraining stereotypical images of the North American Indian. Emerging from the shadow cast by this popularized notion of Indian life, this exhibition’s two perspectives on First Peoples explore themes of community and continuity, and how the past influences the present in both cultural and artistic terms.
