Kablusiak's Untitled Ghost Series
June 26 & 27, 2020
YKARCC Mobile Art Gallery
Exhibited in the mobile gallery in 2020: Kablusiak's "Untitled Ghost Series."
In 2018, Inuvialuk artist Kablusiak travelled from Mohkinstis/Calgary to Inuvik. It was the first time they visited their ancestral homeland as an adult. There, the artist continued their ‘performative photography’ practice. They dressed as a ghost and inhabited various locations around town.
The ghost is a funny and nostalgic image – the quintessential last-minute Halloween costume. But here, the classic bed-sheet with eye-holes becomes a way for the artist to powerfully enact, confront, and communicate their diasporic identity.
We acknowledge and respect that we live and work in Chief Drygeese territory. From time immemorial, it has been the traditional land of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation.
