Spot the innovations made to this ski-doo by Iglulik hunters of #Nunavut, CA. See it in action at the @Citibank #ArcticExhibition '#Arctic: Culture and Climate’ 360˚ digital tour: bit.ly/3eDtZez.
Another favorite 🇨🇦 #Indigenous piece of mine from the #ArcticExhibition is Andrew Qappik’s colored stencil drawing, 'There’s Another One', which reminds me of all the reasons to work for #ClimateChange solutions. Take a virtual tour of the exhibition at bit.ly/3eDtZez
The @britishmuseum is thrilled to have acquired the diptych lithograph Nunavut Qajanartuk (Our Beautiful Land) by acclaimed 🇨🇦 #Inuit artist, Kenojuak Ashevak from @DorsetFineArts, #WestBaffinEskimoCooperative. If you missed the #ArcticExhibition, visit:

Take a guided tour around this beautiful print made by Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak, which reflects the circular pattern of Inuit lives.
It shows how community life in the Arctic is intricately connected to the climate and seasons ow.ly/ye1D30risRl #ArcticExhibition
This is very exciting. Congratulations to the many people who worked to make this happen. I’m looking forward to a time when I can visit and learn from great storytellers and artists.

Sad day, standing in Arctic exhibition for the last time today. De-installation begins Friday.

Bonus tweet: wondering how your museum can address the climate crisis in its public outputs but also in how it works as an institution? March’s @MuseumsAssoc coronavirus conversations discusses the climate crisis and Museums, book here: museumsassociation.org/event…
Can’t wait to hear Inuit youth activist Maatalii Okalik and Kiribati youth activist talk ‘Inheriting Climate Change’ this Thursday. Join here. @britishmuseum @OneYoungWorld #ArcticExhibition britishmuseum.org/events/inh…
Nobody who works on exhibitions does it for the reviews but all who contributed to Arctic: culture and climate - and their were many - this kind of reception makes our day. Arctic, top 5 exhibitions of the year according to Guardian’s Jonathan Jones.

And love the title, ‘Cold comfort’
