¿Quién es Kenojuak Ashevak?

Kenojuak Ashevak, born in 1927 in the Northwest Territories, began drawing during her recovery from tuberculosis in her 20s. Her artwork, renowned for depicting birds, animals, spirits, and her culture's essence, aimed simply to create beauty.

Her acclaim burgeoned after a 1962 National Film Board documentary. Commissioned prints, like Nunavut Qajanatuk and Nunavut, celebrated significant Inuit agreements. Awarded the Order of Canada, she held honorary degrees from Queen’s University and the University of Toronto.

In her own words, she expressed her art as a reflection of her imagination rather than a direct representation of reality. Her art adorned postage stamps and captivated global enthusiasts. Kenojuak Ashevak's fanciful yet pragmatic approach solidified her legacy, acknowledged in a 2016 Heritage Minute filmed in her hometown of Cape Dorset, credited for introducing Inuit art to the world.
