I am a visual artist and a filmmaker, who has been working with Kingulliit productions since 2015 and with Arnait since 2012. Originally from Bulgaria, I have brought my own intercultural experience to my work with Inuit. Inspired by Kingulliit’s style, which prioritizes the power of the human experience, I have worked in the post production section of Kingulliit helping to bring that style to life through editing, and post production supervision. I helped train Inuit in video editing and have been instrumental in implementing a North-South editing system, which gives our Northern editors liberty and support.
I also bring my artistic experience to various projects of Kingulliit. I contributed to the Time Machine comic stories, and am currently leading the interactive map project “On The Land with Noah Piugattuk”.See more
When Noah was nearing his death, he could not eat anymore, and even had a hard time swallowing water. He was craving muktuk (Bowhead whale skin and blubber). He asked that a whale be caught for him, and they managed to catch one. He was able to eat again.
Life became very different when schools and government arrived. People would lose their family allowance if they did not send their kids to school. For Louis Uttak – it was scary times.
In Caribou Clothing and Storyteling Elders tell stories of people who lived on the land; showing us what the story is today, what it looks like now and who goes there now…with many questions around: are people still hunting caribou? Is it still a caribou route? Are there development companies working there now?
