Way to go, Annie!

Cape Dorset artist Annie Pootoogook has been invited to exhibit at a major art show next summer in Germany, according to the CBC "one of the most prestigious invitational contemporary art shows in the world."

Pootoogook's drawings depict day-to-day life in Cape Dorset, Nunavut. Her work contrasts the older culture with all the trappings of modern living. According to Pat Feheley, owner of the Toronto gallery that represents her, "Annie ... only talks about the life that she has lived -- she cannot talk about anything before her own experience."

Both her mother and grandmother were major Inuit artists, and her work shows their influences.

The Matriarchist congratulates Ms. Pootoogook on attaining yet another honour.
