As part of our continuing celebration of Days of Sakha-Yakutia Culture, Bezpala Brown Gallery presents:
· Improvisations by Claudia & Herman Khatylaevs, performing on more than 15 traditional Yakutian musical instruments
· A fashion show of celebratory Yakutian costumes designed by Avgustina Filippova
· Traditional Sakha delicacies created by celebrity chef Innokentiy Tarbakhov
· Ms. Filippova and Mr. Tarbakhov will be present at the reception to guide us along in our exploration of Sakha culture
In addition to the music, garb and food that will be presented, we continue our exploration of northern art by presenting a unique opportunity to contrast Northern Canadian visual art and sculpture with that of the works of Sakha artists. Among others, the Sakha masterpieces of Mikhail Starostin (etchings and oils), Chikachev (prints) and Evgenia Arbugaeva (photography) will continue to be on display. The gallery contrasts these artworks with the work of 17 Inuit artists including Annie Pootoogook (etching and aquatint), Shuvinai Ashoona (etching and aquatint), Kavavaow Mannomee (lithograph) and Nuna Parr (sculpture). Mr. Starostin and Ms. Arbugaeva will be in attendance at the Reception to discuss their creations.
