The provenance of Sakha (Yakut) people of Siberia, Russia is still much of a mystery. Their language belongs to the Turkic group. Their origin is still a much debated subject among historians and archeologists. Yet, much of Sakha cultural background is referred to Olonkho, the oldest epic arts of the Turkic-Mongolian peoples, proclaimed by UNESCO a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (http://www.unesco.org/culture/intangible-heritage/35eur_uk.htm).
For the first time in Canada, the audience will experience the world of Northern Russian aboriginal art featuring Mikhail Starostin, Andrey Chikachev, Gennadiy Dubovoy, Mikhail Simonov, Tujara Markova, Valeriy Bessonov, Maria Gulyayeva, Olga Rakhleeva, and Anna Petrova. As well, a burgeoning photographic talent, Evgenia Arbugaeva, will present her newest collection - vivid depictions of Siberian life - showing why she has received awards in Moscow, Paris and New York.
