Siku Rojas is creating value, beauty, and community in real-time
Meet Siku Rojas, the creative force behind Yurak - a painter, printmaker, illustrator, jewellery maker, and learning tattooist based in Iqaluit, NU. From a young age, Siku has used art to explore identity, culture, and belonging. Their work often weaves in tunniit (Inuit tattoos), depictions of Inuit culture, queer relationships, and the lived experiences of being a mixed-race Indigenous youth. Through their practice, Siku offers bold and beautiful visual representations of genderfluid and queer Inuit stories.
But Siku’s path is not only about art; it’s about entrepreneurship. As a full-time artist and alum of the Digital Creatives cohort at EntrepreNorth, Siku has built Yurak into both a business and a platform for community connection. Their journey reflects the balancing act of being a working artist while staying true to deeply personal and cultural themes.
