Join Inuk artist Laakkuluk Williamson as she travels through the British Museum telling the story of Nuliaminik Neqilik (The Flesh of Wives), in collaboration with New Tribe Collective.

Greenlandic-Canadian Inuk artist Laakkuluk Williamson performs a live reprisal of her performance work Nuliaminik Neqilik (The Flesh of Wives) at the British Museum. In Nuliaminik Neqilik, Laakkuluk focuses on corpulence, body image and strength as a way to own space. The performance will be a musical collaboration with New Tribe Collective, a London-based music group - the northernmost part of North America coming together with the northernmost part of South America, to create an immersive, provocative and cross-cultural energy in the Americas galleries.

The performance is a result of the artist and the exhibition’s curator, Taqralik Partridge engagement with Inuit collections at the British Museum hosted by Rose Taylor, Curator: Americas and Kayte McSweeney, Community Partnerships Manager: Participation and Collections.

Nuliaminik Neqilik (The Flesh of Wives) will be open from 23 April - 27 June 2026 at Mimosa House.

Please meet in the Great Court at 6:30pm for the Performance which will then travel to North America Gallery (Room 26)
