Every Now and Then I Get a Feeling is the first major survey exhibition of Katherine Takpannie’s photography, bringing together key works spanning two decades of her practice, including her most recent series, Urban Inuk, produced entirely in Ottawa with members of the local Inuit community.
Katherine Takpannie has emerged as a defining voice of her generation, working both behind and in front of the camera to assert authorship over representations of contemporary Inuit life. Moving between documentation and self-performance, her practice juxtaposes images of urban Inuit experience in the South with striking self-portraits and landscape photography made in the North. In these works, her body becomes a site of encounter—situated within, rather than set against, the land—foregrounding questions of belonging, embodiment and self-determination within the inherited and lived territories of her family and ancestors.
