The Winnipeg Art Gallery is showcasing the first retrospective exhibition of the late Cape Dorset artist Oviloo Tunnillie, which opens later this month. The exhibit, called A Woman’s Story in Stone, features 67 of Tunnillie’s sculptures from private and public collections across Canada and the U.S. Tunnillie, one of few female Inuit carvers to achieve international success, started her career crafting wildlife, but her work gradually began to reflect social issues. She died in 2014. A Woman in Stone runs from May 21 to September 11. (PHOTO COURTESY OF WAG)
