In Conversation: Tarralik Duffy and Taqralik Partridge

Dates January 27.2022

On Thursday, January 27, 2022, we were joined by artist Tarralik Duffy and curator Taqralik Partridge in conversation as they discuss the Art Gallery of Guelph’s exhibition ᐃᓅᓯᕋ | Inuusira, focusing on the influence of the work of Pitseolak Ashoona and her 1971 illustrated autobiography titled Pictures out of my life. Pitseolak created more than 8,000 drawings over her 20 year career, meticulously documenting details of everyday life in the North that would have a profound impact for both Duffy and Partridge. Inspired by the publication, Inuusira, which means “my life,” features new work by Tarralik Duffy in dialogue with Pitseolak’s prints and drawings from the gallery’s collection, capturing an evolving Inuk-inflected popular culture.
