We are proud to host a special series of podcasts highlighting the ICC Inuit Artist of the Month. On the first Thursday of every month in 2023 we’ll hear from one of the 12 artists. Thanks to funding by the Department of Canadian Heritage – Indigenous Language Component, each artist is provided a bursary to further their art.
In this Inuktitut language episode, host Madeleine Allakariallak speaks with Koomuatuk Curley, who is from Kinngait, in Nunavut, Canada.
He is a fourth generation carver, using materials such as traditional soapstone, marble, jade, ivory, whale bone, alabaster, serpentine, and BC Chlorite!
