Objective(s): to take photographs and to interview residents to study the role of water and ice as they are used by different social groups within the community of Igloolik; to photograph and record marine flora, fauna and other aspects of natural history; to develop a photographic exhibition that compares the scientific perspective and the Inuit perspective of water and ice
Project Description: Ruth Stirling will be recording how water and ice are used by Inuit during a year. She will be interviewing people and taking photographs. From this, she will make a photographic exhibition that shows how differently Inuit feel about water and ice in comparison to people living in the south. This exhibition will be displayed in England.
