Mark Igloliorte
In partnership with the Canadian Embassy in Paris
Mark Igloliorte was born in 1977. Mark Igloliorte is an artist, essayist and educator. As a researcher and artist, his work explores issues related to Indigenous futures through a grounding in embodied practices and language. His use of kayak, kamutik (Inuit sled), and skateboard speaks to his relationship with the land, how it is traveled, and specific connections to a precolonial past and an indigenized future. Her recent exhibition “Anitta! - Above All Negations” combined Nipakittuk (Silent) and Pinngijak (Expressive) installation panel sets comprised of twenty wooden skateboards to explore the Inuktitut language. Mark Igloliorte is an associate professor in the “Frameworks and Interventions in Indigenous Art Practices” program in the Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University in Montreal.
