Northern style
The acclaimed TV series "North of North," featuring Inuit filmmakers Stacey Aglok MacDonald and Alethea Arnaquq-Baril, returned for its second season premiere last week on APTN, CBC Gem, and CBC TV. The show, created by the same duo, was awarded for its unique depiction of northern fashion. The series stars Anna Lambe and Zorga Qaunaq, who have undergone significant character transformations, becoming more expressive and impulsive as the series progresses.
The narrative focuses on showcasing the authentic fashion of the North, which is rich in color and cultural significance. The friendship between the show's characters, Siaja and Millie, evolves from being distant to becoming closer over time, reflecting real-life experiences of Inuit childhood friendships. The series also addresses serious topics, such as residential schools, with honesty and directness, emphasizing the importance of speaking one's truth, even if it leads to discomfort.
The show is set to feature at the Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq's "Crafted on the Catwalk" event, highlighting the fashion designs from various Indigenous communities.
