Hommage aux
ancêtres chamans

Qavavau Manumie’s 2007 ink and pencil drawing “Hommage aux ancêtres chamans” is presented within “ᐆᒻᒪᖁᑎᒃ uummaqutik: essence of life” from November 23. The museum highlights the work for International Inuit Day. Guest curator asinnajaq describes paying respects as a way to keep spiritual leaders and others who have passed close, “be it twenty years or two hundred years that have lapsed.” The drawing is on view during museum hours: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00-17:00, with Wednesday until 21:00.
