How Does Your Research Improve Life?

My research focuses on how to better connect Southern settler and Northern Inuit communities through art. Specifically, focusing on how access to artwork can be increased for Northern Inuit communities is crucial to my research. Access to art is pivotal, given that Inuit art is primarily controlled by museums in the South of Canada. My research pinpoints how access can be increased between the Art Gallery of Guelph and the Northern Inuit community of Baker Lake Nunavut.
