TBIH2023 | Winnipeg Art Gallery: Qaumajuq

Director & CEO of the Winnipeg Art Gallery and Qaumajuq Stephen Borys talks to TBIH's Tonya Nelson about this project that won the Canadian Museums Association's Social Impact and Stewardship of Collections Awards in 2022.

Qaumajuq is an innovative new museum dedicated to Inuit art and culture, a home for the largest public collection of contemporary Inuit art in the world, right in the homeland of Inuit in Canada. This first-of-its-kind centre, connected to the Winnipeg Art Gallery on all levels, opened in 2021 and bridges North and South through exhibitions, research, education, and art making. Artists, Inuit, various partners, and community leaders collaborated to envision and build a vibrant gathering place where everyone’s stories are told and heard in the true spirit of reconciliation.
