Page 26 From Snoopy to soda pop, this Feature offers a compelling look at how artists explore the intersections of popular culture.
Snoopy, Donald Duck and Batman— these media figures are rarely associated with Inuit life or fine art, yet they, and figures like them, continue to appear across graphic and sculptural works. Offering insights into the emergence of these popular icons, this Feature examines how southern culture permeates life in the North and the sophisticated ways Inuit artists grapple with its increasing presence.
From a lost work of art to an abrupt departure, this piece explores the circumstances surrounding the Canadian Pavilion at Expo ’70 in Osaka, Japan, and the little-known story of the delegation of Inuit carvers who attended.
