Item Details
Description
Printmaker: Peter Sevoga 1940-2007), Baker Lake, Innuit Katitput (Gathering of Innuit), 1981 #14, stonecut and stencil, 6/50, 18.5 x 25 in, 47 x 63.5 cm. Provenance: an American private collection. ... This is not simply a gathering but a drum dance. Given the large number of people gathered in the igloo, it is probably a festival or other special occasion. It’s hard to tell if only the two figures at bottom are singing or if the entire assembled group is. Oonark did not herself sing or dance, but she realized the cultural and symbolic importance of the activities.--- CATEGORIES: Inuit, Eskimo
