My feature article on Inuit-led animation studio Taqqut Productions was published in Inuit Art Quarterly. Read the article here. As a longtime reader of IAQ, I believe this is the magazine’s first long-form feature on animation, and I’m grateful to the editorial team for supporting this direction. Inuit animation has a storied history, and I hope the piece sparks more interest among artists, curators and funders.

A companion study guide on one of the studio’s films, Angakusajaujuq: The Shaman’s Apprentice, is forthcoming and will be free and open-access.

My thanks to Louise Flaherty, Neil Christopher, Zacharias Kunuk, Evan DeRushie, and Dan Gies for trusting me to write about their work, and to Stop Motion Dept for many of the article’s images.
