McMichael Canadian Art Collection – To mark the fiftieth anniversary of the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative and to celebrate the remarkable achievement of the internationally acclaimed artistic community of Cape Dorset (Kinngait), the McMichael Canadian Art Collection presents Nunannguaq: In the Likeness of the Earth, an exhibition featuring a large selection of prints, drawings, and sculptures spanning three generations of Cape Dorset artists. Opening at the McMichael on October 10, 2009, and curated by the McMichael’s Anna Stanisz, this exhibition focuses on the representation of the land in the traditional Inuit culture and examines the changes to this vision following the introduction of sedentary lifestyle, southern technologies, and environmental disturbances.

On display at McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Ontario (October 10, 2009 – January 17, 2010).
