Join us for tours of Indigenous exhibitions around Winnipeg and art activities in the MAWA space. This is an amazing opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes stories from the creators themselves and learn about new artistic techniques through different hands-on art activities. Learn more about artists’ processes and the Indigenous art community and talk about the issues that drive our work.
On January 31 we will be visiting Julie Nagam’s solo show Locating the Little Heartbeats at Gallery 1C03, University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Avenue
