uummaqutik
essence of life
As of November 8, 2024
Michal and Renata Hornstein Pavilion – Level 1
The new presentation of the Inuit art collection will open in November 2024! Displayed in brightly lit modernized galleries that double the Museum’s exhibition space dedicated to Inuit art, the presentation brings together an extensive variety of works – prints, drawings, photographs, paintings, sculptures and installations – some of which are recent acquisitions. With ᐆᒻᒪᖁᑎᒃ uummaqutik, the MMFA wishes to make Inuit artistic and cultural heritage more accessible to all audiences.
ᐆᒻᒪᖁᑎᒃ uummaqutik was conceived in collaboration with Inuk artist and curator asinnajaq, and invites us to meditate on the rhythms of life that are particular to the circumpolar territories known together as Inuit Nunangat.
