Isuma (from the Inuktitut word for “to think”) is Canada’s first Inuit artistic collective. Founded in 1990 from Zacharias Kunuk, Norman Cohn, Paul Apak and Pauloosie Qulitalik, the collective was born with the mission to preserve the Inuit culture, incentivizing a dialogue with artistic non-indigenous realities, deconstructing stereotypes and creating cross-cutting communities. Active within video productions, multimedia and archive projects, in 2008 Isuma launched IsumaTv, the first website dedicated to indigenous media art, which today contains over 7000 contents created in 71 different languages. Curated by Asinnajaq, Catherine Crowston, Josée Drouin-Brisebois, Barbara Fischer, Candice Hopkins.
