Unikkaatuat/Inuit Stories features prints, drawings, and sculptures from the WAG's collection of Inuit art. Artists from different generations across the Arctic have transformed traditional oral storytelling to visual artworks through a variety of artistic media. They reveal their own interpretations of the natural and spirit worlds, creation myths, stories of heroes and their epic journeys, fabulous beings, animal fables, as well as accounts of true events and life experiences. The artworks depict hunting accidents, abductions, personal conflicts, cruel fates of orphans and old people, and tell stories dealing with healing and morality. Some artists bring to light lesser known legends through their own research of accounts from the past. div.
