Exhibition: The Old Ways – A Conversation between Father and Son
November 22, 2025 - January 17, 2026

An exhibition of intimate drawings by renowned Inuit artist Kananginak Pootoogook and his son Johnny Pootoogook showcases scenes from traditional Inuit life. These charming drawings date from the 1990’s and early 2000’s, at a time when Johnny was observing and learning from his father. Vividly capturing daily life, the works depict hunting, games, traditional clothing, tools, and striking depictions of Arctic wildlife including a wonderfully expressive, disgruntled polar bear. Each drawing offers a miniature yet detailed snapshot of traditional Inuit culture. Long unseen, this collection is as captivating as it is educational.
