“Mussol i corb” (Owl and Raven), Kananginak Pootoogook, 1967
James Houston va aprendre xilografia al Japó per a després compartir els seus coneixements i uns quants gravats japonesos amb els Inuit de Cape Dorset. Així va néixer l’escola de gravat inuit, que traslladaren el seu art i imaginari a aquest nou mitjà amb una gran intuïció. #inuit #inuitart #inuitprintmaking

“A volte sentivo le volpi quando vagavano sulla crosta della neve, nelle notti di luna piena, alla ricerca di una pernice o di altra selvaggina, latrando rabbiosamente, indemoniate come cani della foresta”
(H.D. Thoreau, Winter Animals, Walden)

Kenojuak Ashevak, Geese Frightened by a Fox, 1960

«Nelle notti d'inverno, e spesso anche di giorno, udivo le note disperate ma melodiose di un gufo che bubbolava lontano; ... Era raro che non lo udissi, aprendo la porta di sera; "Hoo hoo hoo, hoorer hoo" [hu hu hu, hurar hu], un suono profondo con le prime tre sillabe che sembravano dire "how der do" [come stai]; o talvolta solo "hoo hoo"».
(H.D. Thoreau, Winter Animals, Walden)

The Qalupalik is a stop motion story created by a local Inuk artist: Ame Papatsi. Ame draws with both hands simultaneously, and he was kind to my little niece. https://www.nfb.ca/film/nunavut_animation_lab_qalupalik/ #InuitArt #Inuit #StopMotion #Horror #monsters #IndigenousCreatives
