Weronika Murray is a documentary photographer based in Whitehorse, YT, formerly based in Inuvik, Inuvialuit Settlement Region, NTs. Since settling in the North in 2013 she has worked on a wide variety of stories but her personal work often revolves around the issues of sustainability and impacts of climate change on northern communities. Despite numerous attempts to protect Tuktuyaaqtuuq (Tuktoyaktuk), Inuvialuit Settlement Region, NT’s windward shore with human-made reinforcements, the community is losing ground to the destructive force of the waves.
Her work has been published in print and online by The Globe and Mail, The Narwhal, National Post, Macleans, Canadian Geographic, Beside Magazine, Vice Canada, Up Here Magazine, Tusaayaksat, True North Photo Journal, and others. Commercial clients include Government of Canada, Government of the Northwest Territories, Town of Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk Community Corporation, Université Laval.
