ᐃᒡᓚᕐᓇᖅᑐᑦ ᐊᒻᒪ ᑲᑉᐱᐊᓇᖅᑐᑦ
NEW

Beginning December 4, 2023

Encounter Nick Sikkuark’s creations through his illustrations, literature and sculptures. Learn about the everyday elements that inspired him as well as his interests in the bizarre, miniaturization and amplification and, most essentially, humour and horror. Read more

An Interpreter will guide you through the artist’s visual storytelling, in which the same creatures, elements and iconography reappear. Sikkuark’s art will leave you with a sense of anticipation as to where his characters will turn up next. Expect to engage with the Inuktut language, as the artist was involved in the promotion of Inuit literacy through the publication of several illustrated books early in his career.
