Cape Dorset has gone through its own transformation as the people of the community have voted to return to the traditional name of Kinngait. Cape Dorset was a name the community was given about 400 years ago by an English explorer. Kinngait means ‘mountains’ and there are mountains close by called Kinngait Range.
The artists of Kinngait have been expressing their abilities through stone for generations. Isa Oqutaq celebrates tradition with his focus on the inuksuk. Toonoo Sharky tells stories of transformation through his sculptures. Pudlalik Shaa celebrates form and movement with his Arctic wildlife carvings. Joanasie Manning’s stone owls acknowledge the importance of community and survival. Pitseolak Qimirpik explores new forms and brings a fresh perspecitve.
