Alaska Native artists live and create with the full
consciousness of indigeneity – of belonging to a
place, a history, a turning circle of generations.
Their works - so diverse and individual in
conception - draw energy and meaning from the
collective essence of community. The rediscovery
of ancestral art, dispersed in centuries past to
museums around the world, has been a powerful
impetus to the contemporary arts movement in
Alaska, for such pieces speak to indigenous
identities in the present. As the Musée de
Boulogne-sur-mer celebrates the unprecedented
European debut of new works by twenty Alaska
Native artists from across this Arctic region, it
convenes The Turning Circle as a forum for
reflection on art, indigeneity, and the evolving
relationship between museums and source
communities
