Qanuqtuurniq

            As part of the 2015 Pan American Games, a collaborative mural bringing together four young people from Cape Dorset in Nunavut and two young artists from Toronto, Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson (Embassy of Imagination), was created and was a huge success.

Inspired by this project, MU invited these artists to perform in Montreal in 2016. It is therefore a team made up of young Inuit Johnny Samayualie, Parr Josephee, Saaki Nuna, Tommy Quvianaqtuliaq and Salomonie Ashoona, in addition to the two Toronto artists, who came to Montreal to carry out this very special project. The Qanuqtuurniq “Ingenious and Innovative” mural aims to create exchanges between Canadian cities and communities and garner as much impact as possible for our young artists. It is located at Habitations Coupal in the Centre-Sud district. The residents of the Habitations were also consulted with the aim of choosing a model from the three proposed by the artists.

The imagination and drawings that make up the mural are those of young Nunavummiut, all aged between 13 and 17. Artists Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson are responsible for the final composition and arrangement of the different drawings in order to give unity and narrative meaning to the mural. The aesthetics, inspiration and very meaning of the work reflect the culture, interests, concerns or experiences of the five young Nunavummiuts, and of the current young generation.

The artists were assisted by Aidan Price-Bottenberg and Seayenna Lee throughout the project.

The project was made possible, among others, by generous donations from Paul Desmarais III, Eric Boyko, Simon Dupéré, Stéphanie Larivière, Fabrice Morin, Thomas Cockburn, Daniel Forest, Julie Godin, Sacha Haque, François Lafortune & Anna Chif and Grégoire Baillargeon.
