Community Freezer

ABOUT

Across the Arctic, “community freezers” uphold the idea that Inuit country food – the healthy, sustainable, locally harvested plants and wildlife that have sustained Inuit in the Arctic for millennia - is meant to be shared by all, for the good of all. Community freezers, stocked by local hunters and fishers and freely accessible, ensure that Inuit elders and others have healthy food to eat. ​In this two-person show at Eastern Edge Gallery, two Inuit artists originating from Nunatsiavut – photographer Barry Pottle and chef Justin Igloliorte – bring the photographic and culinary arts together to share Inuit “country food.”

​In Community Freezer, Pottle’s massive photographs from the series Foodland Security, are installed in the Rogue Gallery in Eastern Edge. These photographs document the joys and challenges of accessing food from the land for Inuit living in urban settings. These images are presented in conjunction with an opportunity for the public to sample smoked char. Chef Igloliorte will prepare small samples of this popular country food with a culinary twist, paired with a distinctly Labradorian cocktail, inviting visitors to engage in a conversation around food and its importance to culture and heritage in an informal and inviting setting.
This project is presented by Eastern Edge Gallery and Torngat Fisheries:
