Exhibition of the Canadian Museum of Civilization. " This exhibition of 49 woven tapestries and 10 drawings demonstrates how Inuit women in Pangnirtung on Baffin Island adapted a foreign technique to their own social and artistic needs. The ancient technique of Aubusson weaving allows trained weavers to interpret drawings by local artists into stories in wool. Out of the dialogue between two media come tapestries of immaculate craftmanship which tell stories about Inuit culture past and present. As weaver Leesee Kakee states: "Some people might think these are just wallhangings but they are a part of us, our ancestors, our lives." 1, record 1, English, - Nuvisavik%2C%20The%20Place%20Where%20We%20Weave

Exposition du Musée canadien des civilisations. «Exposition consacrée à 49 tapisseries tissées et à 10 dessins qui expliquent comment les femmes [inuites] de Pangnirtung, sur la terre de Baffin, ont adapté une technique étrangère à leurs besoins sociaux et artistiques. Des tisserandes expérimentées arrivent ainsi, en s'inspirant de la vieille technique des tapisseries Aubusson, à transposer les dessins d'artistes locaux en histoires « de laine ». De ce dialogue entre deux médiums résulte d'impeccables tapisseries, autant dire des livres d'histoires sur la culture [inuite] d'hier et d'aujourd'hui. Comme le dit la tisserande Leesee Kakee : «Certains pourraient croire que ce sont simplement des pièces murales, alors que les tapisseries parlent de nous, de nos ancêtres, de nos vies». 1, record 1, French, - Nuvisavik%2C%20%C2%AB%20L%C3%A0%20o%C3%B9%20nous%20tissons%20%C2%BB%20%2D%20Tapisseries%20inuites%20de%20l%27Arctique%20canadien
