Tunnganarniq Nunagijavut - Nakasuk Alariaq

Lucy Tulugarjuk hosts Nakasuk Alariaq for Tunnganarniq Nunagijavut LIVE on March 22nd, 2022.

Nakasuk Alariaq is a philosophy doctorial student at Concordia University who is studying art history. She is an Inuk-Finnish mom-of-three from Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Nunavut. Kinngait is known throughout the world as a center for Inuit art and has been a topic of her research.  She completed her master’s degree at Western University with a focus on art history and wrote about Kinngait artists from the 1950s to the1990s. She completed her bachelor’s degree at Western University, focusing on anthropology with a minor in art history.  She hopes that her future research projects will explore art created in the Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin) region, covering beading, sewing, jewelry, sculpture, and graphic art from an Inuk-Finnish perspective and tying together the communities within the region together under one written work.
