ᐊᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ / Ruovttu Guvlui / Towards Home, an Indigenous-led exhibition and publication project, explores how Inuit, Sámi, and other communities across the Arctic are creating self-determined spaces. It is informed by the perspectives of a group of Inuit, Sámi, and settler co-curators who share the ambition to support northern Indigenous forms of sovereignty shaped by an understanding of the land as home. The project examines and celebrates practices of designing and building on the land that empower Indigenous communities.
Co-curators: Joar Nango, Taqralik Partridge (Director, Nordic Lab at SAW), Jocelyn Piirainen (Associate Curator of Inuit Art, WAG-Qaumajuq), Rafico Ruiz (Associate Director Research, CCA)
