Katherine Takpannie’s IAQ Cover Wins Cover Grand Prix at 2023 National Magazine Awards!!
The Inuit Art Quarterly’s Winter 2022 issue, Colour: Chromatic North, featured a limited-edition detachable lenticular cover that shifts from blue to green smoky photos as it is tilted by the viewer. The images feature artwork from Katherine Takpannie’s Amait series, an ongoing exploration of colour and movement using smoke bombs, paired with original poetry from Taqralik Partridge as part of a larger artist project, Tauttuq, within the issue. Tauttuq received honourable mention in the One of a Kind Storytelling category at this year’s NMAs, and the issue as a whole received an honourable mention for Best Editorial Package.
“It is so hard to innovate in print these days, and Inuit Art Quarterly has managed to do exactly that with this eye-catching cover,” said the NMA jury. “They aren’t relying on a trick here to do the heavy lifting; the whole concept is smart and thought-provoking. And so beautiful!”
