CALENDAR LISTINGS
ARCTIC JOURNEYS, ANCIENT MEMORIES: THE SCULPTURE OF ABRAHAM ANGHIK RUBEN THROUGH JAN. 2, 2013
AS WE GROW: TRADITIONS, TOYS AND GAMES Window on Collections, Third Level Overlook This exhibition examines more than 100 objects that illustrate how Native American children play – competing in ball games, dressing up dolls, playing in the snow. But Native children’s toys and games are more than playthings. They are ways of learning about the lives of grown men and women and the traditions of families and communities. The toys, games and clothing in these cases come from all over North, Central and South America and represent more than 30 tribes.
EXHIBITION OPENING: ARCTIC JOURNEYS, ANCIENT MEMORIES: THE SCULPTURE OF ABRAHAMANGHIK RUBEN Thursday, Oct. 4 Continues through Jan. 2, 2013 Sealaska Gallery, Second Level Abraham Anghik Ruben’s sculpture envisions the rich prehistory of the North American Arctic, embracing the early Viking expedi- tions to the New World counterbalanced with the sustained settlement, whaling culture and spiritual life of his Inuvialuit ancestors. Through his powerful and compelling sculptures, the myths and legends of ancient Northern cultures find new life and expression. The exhibition is presented as part of the 18th
Inuit Studies Conference (October
24-28, 2012) hosted by the Arctic Studies Center, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution.
