THE ART OF COMIC STORYTELLINGwith Napatsi Folger
Join Inuk comic artist, Napatsi Folger, and explore your creativity using colour and patterns in her collage comic-making workshop. Inspired by the compositions and striking patterns of Sharni Pootoogook’s work, Folger will discuss how integral storytelling is to Inuit art and how to integrate visual art techniques into telling strong stories through comics.
Age 13+ | Free to attend, pre-registration required.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
On tour from the Kelowna Art Gallery, this exhibition celebrates the life and work of Sharni Pootoogook (1922-2003), whose bold and balanced ink-on-paper drawings blur the boundaries between human and animal, spiritual and visceral. Pootoogook’s work draws clear connections between first-generation artists in Kinngait and the current trends in Inuit graphic art.
