Qaumajuq is expected to open in Feburary 2021
The Winnipeg Art Gallery’s new Inuit Art Centre is going to be lit.
The gallery announced a new Inuktut name for the centre on Wednesday, Oct. 28: Qaumajuq, which translates as “it is bright” or “it is lit,” a nod to the light that flows into the new building.
The name Qaujamuq was suggested and selected by the WAG’s Indigenous Advisory Circle and its Indigenous language advisory committee, which included Inuktut speakers Taqralik Partridge, Krista Ulujuk Zawadski, Johnny Kasudluak and Theresie Tungilik.
To note the traditional territory the buildings sits on, the advisory circle also opted to give the building an Anishinaabemowin name: Biindigin Biwaasaeyaah, meaning “Come on in, the dawn of light is here” or “the dawn of light is coming.”
