Royal Alberta Museum 12845 - 102 Avenue NW Ongoing through Monday, May 20, 2013 "The stories my grandmother told me are from the time when animals used to talk like human beings. . .They stopped talking not very long ago." –Irene Avaalaaqiaq An exhibition of 16 wall hangings by master Inuit artist Irene Avaalaaqiaq opens in The Royal Alberta Museum's feature gallery on February 16. Bold designs and bright colours are signature elements of Avaalaaqiaq's work. So, too, is storytelling. Raised by her grandparents after her mother's early death, Avaalaaqiaq grew up on the land. Many of her wall hangings interpret stories she heard as a child about the time when animals transformed into humans–and vice versa.
