    Inuit Futurism Center


    The Inuit Futurism Center is a project by Allison Akootchook Warden, as well as a space and installation in the Anchorage Museum’s Seed Lab. Warden serves as an artist and curator-in-residence for 2022 and 2023 as part of the project.

    The Inuit Futurism Center is a place to connect with Inuit art and celebrate the genre of art known as Inuit Futurism. Warden will host programs, panels, and workshops and create publications through her time as an artist-in-residence. Programs will be offered both virtually and in-person for Inuit and non-Inuit alike.

    Warden considers herself as an Inuit Futurism artist who collaborates and connects with other Inuit Futurism artists in the Circumpolar North and beyond.
