Shifting Geographies considers a range of Inuit works of art that highlight the lifestyle and cultural changes across the Canadian Arctic. Drawn from the University of Alberta Art Collection's broad holdings of Inuit art, this exhibition seeks to show how knowledge and skills have been passed on and transformed from one generation to the next.

From print to tapestry, works of art by artists such as Pitseolak Ashoona and Jessie Oonark speak to a land-based way of life and the innovations of the past, whereas artists such as Annie Pootoogook and Tim Pitsiulak show the impact of Qallunaat (non-Inuit) culture on contemporary Inuit life. In doing so, these works of art also reveal the changing social and geographic landscape of Inuit Nunagat. Moreover, they also highlight an interconnected and living Indigenous worldview that continues to evolve.
