Originating Calendar: Campus Humanities Calendar; This presentation will introduce the work of several Kalaallit Inuit artists whose careers began in the late 1970s, a period of heightened anticolonial activism in their homeland. Examining the connections between art and activism, my talk will discuss how Kalaallit artists have challenged colonial representations and asserted their right to self-definition.
