The Cape Dorset Storytelling Project
August 2008 my husband and I visited Cape Dorset, Baffin Island—a place of stark beauty. Amid panoramas of stone and sky, minute floral details showed the artistry of the land. The photo galleries highlight the scope of the experience that included the Co-op Print Studio, a visit to renowned artist Kenojuak Ashevak in her honour-filled home and a guided tour to the Thule site where ancient Inui left traces of their stone homes.
The Storytelling project grew from a discussion with the principal of Peter Pitseolak School to something more concrete after meeting 15 year old Alysia Toonoo from Cape Dorset who was visiting May Hughes in Toronto. The circle grew to include Marilyn Field, the founder of DARE arts, artist Charles Pachter, May's husband Chas who works in Nunavut and Sheridan College student Danielle Crosby.
Our goal is to work with young people from Cape Dorset, on-line, to have them create a picture-story book based on their Cape Dorset experience—stories in their own voices.
