PIQSIQ Performance - Chan Centre DOT COM series

A piqsiq is a natural phenomenon, a wind storm that conjures the impression of snow falling back up towards the sky. For sisters Inuksuk Mackay and Tiffany Ayalik, this chaotically beautiful northern image encapsulates the joys and struggles of navigating mixed Indigeneity in a world where reclaiming one’s culture can be a radical act. As PIQSIQ, the acclaimed Inuit throat-singing duo perform both ancient songs and new compositions infused with haunting beauty and entrancing melodies.
