It’s been a long road for our program. From our struggles at the beginning where everything was being cancelled or postponed, to the difficulties of being able to come together as a group; we’re excited to see the spaces and places we’ve worked so hard to shape this past year finally coming to life.
The last conferences of the season are over and summer is here! Constance Menzies captured this delightfully colourful wall of guitars while picking up guitar strings with Tony Eetak at the Long & McQuade music store in Winnipeg this week.
Youth, artists and culture connectors from Arviat, Victoria and Tuktoyaktuk and the Carving Out Climate Testimony; Happening to Us and Our People, Our Climate digital arts and cultural entrepreneurship and Inclusion in Northern Research projects gathered at Qaumajuq and the Winnipeg Art Gallery during the 2022 Auviqsaqtut Inuit Studies Conference.
Tony Eetak re-connects with Jordan Konek, both from Arviat, Nunavut on campus at the University of Winnipeg during the Inuit Studies Conference earlier this month. Ten years ago this October, Jordan was a student with the original Nanisiniq Arviat History Project. This project draws on many of those early experiences.

June 2022 is the month we’ve all been waiting for, and working towards since our pilot program began last November!

Congratulations to Ethan Tassiuk on receiving the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers from the Rt. Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada this week!
In this series of workshop sessions, we will describe the conversations that led to the project, share the Canada Council for the Arts grant details, and address the opportunities that the digital/cultural incubator provides for local communities. Also, these sessions provide an overview of the participatory process that will be used to set up future digital development activities.
Our very first in-person workshops and public presentations are just around the corner! We’ve had a couple weeks now where we have not been able to meet, but restrictions are finally coming to an end and we will be able to start hosting our in-person workshops.
