Marion Tuu'luq

Marion Tuu'luq RCA LL.D (1910–2002), also known as Anguhadluq, Tudluq, Tuuluq, and Toodlook,[1] was an Inuk artist in mixed media and textiles.

She "drew upon vivid colors, symmetry, and anthropomorphic imagery, to create vibrant tapestries which depict stories, legends, and personal experiences.

In the 1960s, she was part of a semi-nomadic group of Inuit who, facing the threat of starvation, were forced to change their nomadic lifestyle and move to the settlement of Baker Lake.

[4] Tuu'luq's "A Story of Starvation," as told to Susan Tagoona, shares her experience growing up in the Arctic and her struggle for survival.

[8] She was a part of a circle of northern fabric artists (including Jessie Oonark and Irene Avaalaaqiaq Tiktaalaaq) who helped establish the contemporary art form of large-scale, two-dimensional, embroidered textile works.
