This edition of Up Here's annual Arts & Culture issue highlights movers and shakers challenging the status quo with their creativity and talent. We tell the story of the Ruben brothers, carvers from Paulatuk who made it big in the arts world for their masterful abilities to bring epic legends to life through bone and stone. We also look at the powerful resurgence of hide tanning practices, and how Northern designers are bringing cold climate couture to the runways.
