Susan Aglukark: An Intimate Evening of Songs & Stories – Oakville News

On April 6, 2017 Juno Award-winning singer/songwriter Susan Aglukark will share songs and stories of life from an Inuit perspective. CFUW Oakville will present the evening to support the University Women’s Club of Oakville Scholarship Fund, which aids deserving young women on their way to post-secondary studies.

Susan Aglukark is one of Canada’s most unique and honoured artists. An Inuk from Arviat, Nunavut, Susan walks in a tension between two worlds, a defining note in her remarkable career.

An Inuk, modern and strong woman, Susan has something important to say, which thankfully is becoming less rare in the entertainment industry. As her songs climbed the charts, her stories and candor about the struggles of the Inuit and Aboriginal communities, combined with her bravery as she opens up about her own anger and struggle won and continues to win her an audience beyond that of most pop artists.
