Please join us for a conversation with Sophie Angnatok, an Inuk throat singer and drum dancer from Nain, Nunatsiavut.
Sophie has been practicing the art of throat-singing and traditional Inuit drumming for 20 years and plays an active role within her local urban Inuit community.
Learn about her love of Inuit culture, the knowledge she shares in the community, her relationship with The Rooms, and her experiences in the Inuit drum dance group, Kilautiup Songuninga (Strength of the Drum).
Sophie performed for the Canadian Prime Minister during the Truth and Reconciliation apology for Labradorimut, the Governor General of Canada, and the Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland and Labrador. In 2024, she was the inaugural recipient of the Chris Brookes Memorial Award for “artists effecting positive change in the world”.
