Led by Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson (PA System, Embassy of Imagination)

PA System (Alexa Hatanaka and Patrick Thompson) create collaborative and socially-engaged projects in the high Arctic, including their ongoing project with Inuit youth in the remote community of Kinngait (Cape Dorset, Nunavut) called Embassy of Imagination (Parr Josephee). Embassy of Imagination engages Kinngait youth in contemporary art practice, including public murals in Canada’s urban centers.

This facilitated drawing game will be between participants and youth in Kinngait (Cape Dorset, Nunavut) using the Connected North Teleconference system. Facilitators will also lead a discussion while touring their installation Towards Something New and Beautiful + Future Snowmachines in Kinngait, which is part of Every. Now. Then: Reframing Nationhood at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
