LISA MILOSAVLJEVIC

PHOTOGRAPHER & FILMMAKER

In September 2022, I took part in a week-long residency in Dawson City, Yukon, to hand process 16mm film shot on a Bolex and created phytograms. We experimented using natural based developers made from foraged flowers and plants. The program was led by, Philip Hoffman, from the independent imaging retreat or “Film Farm”, while generously hosted by the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture.

'Nunavut's Young Hunters' was part of CONTACT's Photography Festival in Toronto at Sanagan's Meat Locker in the highly foot-trafficked Kensington Market from May to June 2022. Displaying these photos at an independent butcher in downtown Toronto was chosen to invite people to contemplate what 'local meat' means in different parts of Canada.

'Nunavut's Young Hunters' was exhibited in February 2022 at the Exposure Photography Festival's 'The Fence' exhibition at Calgary’s Olympic Plaza, in partnership with Far North Photo Festival (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories), Chinook Blast! Festival (Calgary) and Photoville (Brooklyn, New York, USA). Co-curated by Amanda Annand, Far North Photo Festival, and Beth Kane, Exposure Photography Festival, the exhibition presents the work of Northern-based and Indigenous artists from across Canada’s Northern Territories.

I am happy to share my photo story about a great community program that teaches young boys traditional hunting skills in Iqaluit. It is part of the Canadian TNJP 13 series with the True North Photo Journal.
