2024 marks the 65th year of Kinngait Studios’ annual print collection. This past year was one for celebration, with the distinction of two Kinngait artists in particular: Shuvinai Ashoona and Ningiukulu Teevee were granted the Governor General’s Award and the Kenojauk Ashevak Memorial Award, respectively.

However, it is with sadness and gratitude that we also commemorate the passing of two other artists of great significance, Papiara Tukiki and Qiatsuq Niviaqsi. Their art will continue to be celebrated as symbols of their wisdom, skill, and experiences.
