Twelve women artists and writers open this rare window on the northern world of the Inuit.
Cape Dorset sits at the very heart of Inuit culture. Since the late 1950's, this community has symbolized the essence of Inuit art, thanks to the widely acclaimed work of artists like Kenojuak Ashevak, Mayoreak Ashoona, Pitseolak Ashoona, Qaunak Mikkigak, Oopik Pitsiulak, Napachie Pootoogook, Lucy Qinnuayuak, Pitaloosie Saila and Ovilu Tunnillie. Their art--graphics, sculpture and jewellery--is shown here in 200 superbly printed reproductions, over 50 of which are in full colour.
