IPY 2007-2008

The Cerny Inuit Collection and the Arctic Circumpolar Gateway are pleased to announce the opening of the exhibition « Shared Arctic : Contemporary Circumpolar Artwork », and to the Round Table « Breaking the Ice : Sharing Communications in and with the Arctic », to mark the beginning of International Polar Year. The opening of the exhibition will be at United Nations Office, Palais de Nations, Geneva, Switzerland, on March 5, 2007. The Round Table is planned to take place on March 5 and 6, 2007.

There is a need among indigenous and non-indigenous peoples to communicate, to vitalize Arctic cultural heritage, and to share different realities. You can participate in strengthening Northern culture and communications by becoming informed through networking with artists and communicators from around the pole. We invite you to take this opportunity to see, learn, and discuss the unique arts and outlooks reflected in the exhibition.
