Ooleepeeka Eegeesiak is an Inuk/qallunaaq born in Iqaluit, Nunavut; raised in Treaty 6 and 7; and currently living in unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin lands, Ottawa. Her curatorial, writing, and visual practices centre around diaspora, kinship, ecology, storytelling, and climate change. Eegeesiak’s work can be found in ROOM Magazine’s 44.3 Indigenous Brilliance issue; in an Inuit Art Foundation online artist project titled “terraform”; and was a part of Coulees Remember Glaciers, a 2023 exhibition in the Christou Gallery at the University of Lethbridge. Her recent curatorial project includes -miut at Mitchell Art Gallery, which considers what it means to be Inuk living in the south through work by five contemporary Inuit artists living in Treaty 6 and 7, Alberta, and a zine featuring Inuit contributors living outside of Inuit Nunaat. She currently works at the National Gallery of Canada in the role of curatorial assistant.
