TETHER is an exhibition of more than fifty artworks by Northern Indigenous artists whose works display the complex and inseparable bonds across diverse lands, waters, nations and peoples. The four-person team of emerging curators for TETHER includes two current and alumni Ilinniaqtuit of the Inuit Futures in Arts Leadership Project (Leanne Inuarak-Dall and Darcie “Ouiyaghasiak” Bernhardt) and two local First Nations curator-artists (Teresa Vander Meer-Chassé and Heather Steinhagen). The co-curators of TETHER are being mentored by the Inuit Futures in Arts Leadership Project Director and Arctic Arts Summit Chair of Programming and Coordinating Producer, Dr. Heather Igloliorte, who has over sixteen years of curatorial experience.
