Exhibitions

ARTiculate Our Rights

July 15 to October 31, 2020

What human rights matter to youth today? What kind of future do they envision? In this vibrant art exhibition, Manitoba youth express their views about human rights for themselves, their families, and their communities. Their thought‐provoking artwork covers a range of issues that impact us all.

Exhibition details
A colourful collage of artwork. In one section, the image of a bloody, brown clenched fist has the words, "I matter" underneath. Another section contains images of diverse faces, with the words "une" and "voice" above it. One section is full of a network of squiggly lines and the words "Yes", "No" and "Bipolar". Another section includes the images of two smiling young men of different racial backgrounds.

Time to Act: Rohingya Voices

June 16, 2019 to September 1, 2020

Exhibition details
Rohingya women, children and men wade through waist-high muddy river water. Some carry young children, while others carry bags of possessions, including household items.

Ododo Wa: Stories of Girls in War

October 2019 to November 2020

Exhibition details
A group of young women and girls in their teens stand together on the front porch of a building. Most are dressed in white blouses and blue skirts, with two girls also wearing blue sweaters. To the right, a doorway reveals a roomful of students sitting at wooden desks and writing on notepads.
