Tarqitamaat est une initiative née en 2019 de l’Année internationale des langues autochtones de l’UNESCO par Aumaaggiivik, le Secrétariat des arts du Nunavik de l’Institut culturel Avataq, afin de promouvoir des artistes utilisant la langue inuite dans leurs créations. Chaque mois, une personne ou un groupe d’artiste était mis de l’avant pour leur travail, simultanément avec un évènement qui a lieu durant le mois. Lorsque l’année fut terminée, la réception du projet ayant été tellement positive, Aumaaggiivik a décidé de poursuivre l’aventure. Nous faisons la promotion d’un artiste chaque mois, avec le mandat plus vaste de valoriser et faire connaître la culture du Nunavik.
Tarqitamaat is an initiative created for the 2019 UNESCO’S Year of indigenous languages with Aumaaggiivik, the Nunavik Art Secretariat of Avataq Cultural Institute to promote Nunavik artists using Inuktitut in their work. Every month, an individual or a group of artists were showcased for their work simultaneously with an event taking place during the month. After the year ended, the response to the project was so positive that Aumaaggiivik decided to pursue this adventure. Each month, we will showcase an artist with a broader mandate of promoting Nunavimmiut culture.
Featured artists have included Vickie Okpik, Eva Saunders, Charleen Watt, Robbie Watt and Nalukturuk Weetaluktuk.
