The award, which includes a prize of $10,000, recognizes the distinguished recent works of artists and writers and is presented by the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec in cooperation with the Avataq Cultural Institute. “Akinisie Sivuarapik is a beloved, relevant and important artist. Her contribution is essential to the preservation, transmission and revitalization of katajjaniq (throat singing), an Inuit cultural treasure,” the selection jury said in a statement.
