In conjunction with the Zimmerli Art Museum's exhibition Indigenous Identities: Here, Now & Always, Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich virtually joins us to discuss her artwork “Spawning Iqalukpik Double from Tustumena Lake” and her art-making practices on March 24 at 7pm. Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich is a Koyukon Denaa and Iñupiaq carver and interdisciplinary artist working and subsisting on the Dena’ina homelands in Southcentral Alaska. Honoring her Arctic and Subarctic ancestral homelands, Ivalu’s work represents what has tied her and her ancestors to the North. Through carved, painted, and beaded sculpture and mask- and lens-based forms, Ivalu creates representations of the revered wild relatives that have provided for her, her family, and her ancestors since time immemorial. Connection to the realities of subsistence lifeways and arctic survival is vital to Ivalu’s work, which mirrors what keeps us fed and present in the North.
