Detail:

This stunning exhibition is a production of the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts and is the first exhibition of the Nunavut Territorial collection of contemporary Inuit art, and celebrates the growth of Inuit creative expression over the past five decades. Our Land is a collaboration between the Peabody Essex Museum, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Nunavut.  Sixty four works demonstrate how long-held artistic traditions of the Inuit inspire contemporary sculptures, prints, fiber art, photography and digital media.  All of these forms reflect Inuit societal values of family, community, and worldview expressed through Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (Inuit Traditional Knowledge).
