Qummut Qukiria! - Art, Culture, and Sovereignty Across Inuit Nunaat and Sapmi: Mobilizing the Circumpolar North (Hardcover)

Qummut Qukiria! celebrates art and culture within and beyond traditional Inuit and Sami homelands in the Circumpolar Arctic -- from the continuance of longstanding 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, Sapmi, Canada, and Scandinavia address topics as diverse as Sami rematriation and the revival of the ladjogahpir (a Sami 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 wellbeing, and cultural identity.
