The Art & Ecology program at the Humber Arboretum was introduced by Senior Nature Interpreter Ben Verdicchio and quickly became a hit with school groups and nature campers alike. Learn about the ideas behind creating place-based art using natural materials and discover how people of any age can use those ideas to engage with the outdoors. We're repeating this Lunch and Learn to offer one last chance to learn about the program from Ben, who's leaving at the end of the month.

The peer review process – in which experts critically assess manuscripts under consideration for publication in a scholarly journal - is critical to upholding the academic rigour and self-correcting nature of scholarship. More than just critically responding to a paper, there is an art to crafting a review that is constructive and rigourous, while also being reasonable and collegial. In this session, we will walk through the process of reviewing a scholarly paper with practical tips and suggestions for both novice and seasoned reviewers.

Join us at North Space for an evening of art, film, food, and conversation as we celebrate our two new exhibitions, Channel 51: Igloolik – Chill Zone and Channel 51: Igloolik – Atanarjuat. Guest curator Asinnajaq will present on Isuma's practice.
Free admission. All are welcome!

Channel 51: Igloolik is presented across Humber Galleries’ two locations and celebrates 30 years of industry-changing video production coming out of Igloolik, a remote community of 1600 people in Nunavut. Challenging stereotypes about ways of life in the North, boundary-breaking video collectives Arnait and Isuma continue to share their vast body of work about contemporary Inuit visual culture with the world. This pair of exhibitions presents an opportunity to see what has been accomplished over three decades.
Opening Monday, March 5, 2018, Channel 51: Igloolik – Atanarjuat at North Space reveals the making of the internationally renowned film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner. Bringing Inuit stories to the world stage, Atanarjuat shattered expectations when Isuma won the Camera d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001. This collection of polaroid photos offers a glimpse behind the scenes of Isuma Video Collective’s unique approach to community-based filmmaking by showing the faces and moments which made the Atanarjuat such a significant endeavor.

Guest Curator: Asinnajaq (Isabella Weetaluktuk)
Asinnajaq, known also as Isabella Weetaluktuk, is an Inuk visual artist, writer, and curator. She if from Inukjuak, Nunavik and grew up in Montreal. Asinnajaq’s first job was travelling the Inuit Nunangat. During this time she was lucky to take in the immense beauty of places like the Torngat Mountains, Diana Island and the fjords of Baffin Island. This was also an opportunity to see many animals, old food caches, and the site of a Thule whale bone dwelling near Resolute Bay. While looking for her next move Asinnajaq made a storyboard for her father, Jobie Weetaluktuk’s, next film. This small task turned into the Assistant Director position, and the chance to film in Inukjuak, the place where many of Isabella’s aunts, uncles, and cousins live. Inspired, Asinnajaq jumped into film school and completed her first film with the National Film Board, titled Three Thousand. Asinnajaq moves to honour the past and create a foundation for the future.
These two exhibitions have come together through collaborative efforts of our Project Team: Asinnajaq (Isabella Weetaluktuk), Maddie Alexander, Quazance Boissoneau, Liana Canzian, Sam Cohn-Cousineau, Danica Evering, Alissa Firth-Eagland, Regina Hartwick, Diana Jaber, Zoe Kim, Casey Norris, Safia Siad, Jacqueline Simpson, and Farah Yusuf.
This project marks an ongoing partnership and learning process between the Aboriginal Resource Centre and Humber Galleries at Humber College. For more information, please contact alissa.firth-eagland@humber.ca, visit humbergalleries.ca, or find HumberGalleries on social media.
