MIA visitor Jose with "Preparing the Meal" (late 1970s) by Marc Alikaswa (1928 - 2007), Arviat, Stone, Private Collection on loan to MIA
Where are you from?
Guadalajara, Mexico
What brings you to MIA? Is this your first visit?
Yes, this is my first visit. Curiosity.
Why is this your favourite piece in the collection?
It tells me more about Canada and its first inhabitants. It seems like a very common scene and it tells me about their life and how families stayed together.
