INUIT ART QUARTERLY - MEMORY: CULTURAL CONSCIOUSNESS

Since 1986, the Inuit Art Quarterly has been dedicated to the advancement and appreciation of Inuit and circumpolar Indigenous arts. The award-winning Inuit Art Quarterly is the globe's only magazine dedicated to circumpolar Indigenous art. For over thirty years, the IAQ has been at the forefront of the field, bringing to light new and notable artists while sharing their voices and culture.

In this issue:
- Ancestral Teachings: Revitalizing Archival Holdings
- Visual Histories: Binding Memories in Art
- Tulukaruk Tales: Raven Relations

This holiday issue, guest edited by Alutiiq art historian, Dr. Nadia Jackinsky-Sethi, is a deep dive into the power of memory as inspiration. From first sight the issue will evoke nostalgia whether you grew up on the tundra or not, with a stunning image by Kalaaleq photographer Inuuteq Storch donning our cover. ⁠

With stories that explore why memories are so important in the shaping of Inuit art and how Inuit history is shared through oral storytelling and visual art, this is an issue that is filled with passion. From Yup’ik writer, Illegvak’s feature about stories about ravens passed down orally across generations, to the work of the Agguaq Collective to thread connections across generations of Inuit through pattern making and sewing. ⁠
