Niore Iqalukjuak

This has been an incredible year for the Kangiqtugaapik (Clyde River)based artist. In the past few months alone, Iqalukjuak travelled to London, England for the European opening of Floe Edge: Contemporary Art and Collaborations from Nunavut and was chosen to have one of his images, an illuminated igloo, applied to the tail of a First Air airplane. “Our land, the wildlife and people are all amazing,” explains the artist. “It is sometimes hard to capture that, but the best pictures are those that make you feel it, just from looking at them.” Up next, Iqalukujuak will be travelling through the Northwest Passage aboard a cruise ship to capture the ever-shifting landscape of the newly accessible route.
