Step into the world of Indigenous artists from the Arctic and explore how they capture both the beauty of their homelands and the challenges they face in a changing environment.
At The British Museum until 28th September 2025 there’s a fascinating exhibition for you to see. The Arctic is home to about four million people across eight countries. Among them are over 400,000 Indigenous Peoples who have lived in the far north for thousands of years—long before today’s borders existed. Their artwork reflects a deep connection to the land, the animals, and the unique way of life in this remote region.
A new exhibition focuses on Indigenous communities in the Arctic parts of North America, especially in Alaska and Canada. It explores how these communities continue to adapt to social, political, and environmental changes—and how art plays an important role in their everyday lives.
Much of the artwork is inspired by traditional stories, daily life, and the natural world. You’ll see pieces that blend old practices with new ideas, showing the strength and creativity of these cultures.
One highlight of the exhibition is a new piece by Alaska Native artist Erin Ggaadimits Ivalu Gingrich, called Shedding Natchiayaaq from Kigiktaq. The artwork shows a seal transforming as it grows from a baby into a young adult—symbolizing growth, change, and connection to nature.
By bringing together historical and modern works from the British Museum’s collection, the exhibition celebrates the resilience, traditions, and innovation of Arctic Indigenous Peoples—and reminds us how art continues to shape and share their stories.
The exhibition dates are 07 June – 28 September 2025, so make sure to catch this wonderful exhibition before it ends.
