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.

Systemic racism and discrimination review

The first phase of the review is complete. A report by the external, independent reviewer is now available. The Museum’s Board of Trustees has committed to taking both short‐term and long‐term action to address these important issues.
