Thesis NonPeerReviewed 2013 ftcanadathes 2014-07-05T23:46:57Z ABSTRACT Inuit Art as Cultural Diplomacy between Canada and India Sanaugavut: Inuit Art from the Canadian Arctic On the 27th of September, 2010 an exhibition of Inuit Art entitled Sanaugavut: Inuit Art from the Canadian Arctic, organized by the National Gallery of Canada, opened at the National Museum of India. Canada gained visibility with the Indian public as well as an international audience as the inauguration of Sanaugavut coincided with the opening of the Commonwealth Games in India.

The focus of this thesis then, is the study of the use of Inuit art in cultural diplomacy internationally and specifically in the case of Sanaugavut, between Canada and India. Cultural diplomacy can be defined as an opportunity to foster mutual understanding by presenting cultural knowledge and furthering an understanding of a nation. The opportunity is the essence of the ‘soft power’ of an exhibition - its ability to present the mood of the country, providing an awareness of the characteristics of its societies and a landscape in which its politics operate. Sanaugavut, as an example of soft-power, was used as a tool in the promotion of Canada’s nationhood.
