The John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto is proud to announce that Toronto opening of ᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ / Ruovttu Guvlui / Towards Home, an Indigenous-led exhibition and publication project that explores how Inuit, Sámi and other communities across the Arctic are creating self-determined spaces. It is informed by the perspectives of Inuit, Sámi and settler co-curators who share the ambition to support northern Indigenous forms of sovereignty shaped by an understanding of the land as home. Caring for and living on the land is a way of being. The project examines and celebrates practices of designing and building on the land that empower Indigenous communities.
The Daniels Faculty presentation of ᖏᕐᕋᒧᑦ / Ruovttu Guvlui / Towards Home is organized by Jeannie Kim, Associate Professor, Teaching Stream. The exhibition was originally mounted by the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) and co-curated by Sámi and Indigenous architect and artist Joar Nango, Taqralik Partridge (Director of the Nordic Lab at SAW Gallery), Jocelyn Piirainen (Associate Curator of Inuit Art at WAG-Qaumajuq) and Rafico Ruiz (Associate Director Research at the CCA).
