The Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Film Board of Canada have formed a partnership to provide a platform for Inuit to share their art, culture and knowledge. Their agreement covers a variety of programs and events, including discussions with Inuit community members, screenings for children and adults, and the production of new works. Qaumajuq, the new Inuit art centre at the Winnipeg Art Gallery that opens March 27, houses a large public collection of contemporary Inuit art, while the NFB's Indigenous film collection stretches back more than 70 years. The first joint project is a commission by Geronimo Inutiq, an Inuk multimedia artist. It debuted recently via projection onto the gallery's exterior walls.
