THE NEW RAW

Info

Description

Art in the North is changing. While traditional art is still quite popular around the world, Inuit artists are increasingly interested in creating art that reflects today's reality; visual reflections on social change and climate change. To date, the South has largely ignored "THE NEW RAW" coming from the North. Journalist Eilís Quinn explores what this means, and whether the South may be missing out on something truly historic, and important.

I am interested in the new "Raw" and I think there are others like me. I just bought an emaciated polar bear from an Inuit carver in Toronto. From Iqualuit. Unlike any bear carving I have seen before.
Thank you for exposing me to the new Raw. Fascinating subject.

Sweet litle video. We all grow older, the world grows older. The old north fades as the new north becomes the new old north and the vision changes but Inuit art, the art from the north, is always modern, has always been modern, always will be a different way of seeing and seeking and a significant reflection on what it means to be a human being in the 21st century as the last of the wild is seduced away from what it was to what it will be. Run-on sentences and a long way from the igloo art centre in nain.
