Qummut qukiria!: art, culture, and sovereignty across Inuit Nunaat and Sápmi : mobilizing the circumpolar north

Concordia (print book)

Qummut Qukiria! celebrates art and culture within and beyond traditional Inuit and Sámi homelands in the Circumpolar Arctic -- from the recovery of traditional practices such as storytelling and skin sewing to the development of innovative new art forms such as throatboxing (a hybrid of traditional Inuit throat singing and beatboxing). In this illuminating book, curators, scholars, artists, and activists from Inuit Nunangat, Kalaallit Nunaat, Sápmi, Canada, and Scandinavia address topics as diverse as Sámi rematriation and the revival of the ládjogahpir (a traditional woman's headgear), the experience of bringing Inuit stone carving to a workshop for inner-city youth, and the decolonizing potential of Traditional Knowledge and its role in contemporary design and beyond. Qummut Qukiria! showcases the thriving art and culture of the Indigenous Circumpolar peoples in the present and demonstrates its importance for the revitalization of language, social well-being, and cultural identity (Igloliorte, H. L., Lundström, J.-E., & Hudson, A. (2022). Qummut qukiria!: Art, culture, and sovereignty across Inuit Nunaat and Sápmi: Mobilizing the circumpolar north. Goose Lane Editions)
