The Carleton Art Collection includes 80 prints created by Inuit artists from 1964 to 1986, depicting traditional Inuit ways at a time when their culture was in transition. A range of printmaking practices including stone-cut, linocut, serigraph, and stencil are represented. Featured artworks come from print cooperatives in Baker Lake, Kinngait, Puvirnituq, Ulukhaktok, and Inukjuak in the Northern Quebec and Nunavut regions.
A selection of these artworks was featured in a 2018 Perlman Teaching Museum exhibition UnikKautte and, recently, a series of five educational videos that thematically explore the prints was produced by the museum. We invite you to explore the videos and research links on this page.
